When the console is activated, hold down the COOL DOWN button, and press the PERSONAL
TRAINER button simultaneously. Select a number, from 1 to 6, to identify the new workout. Use
the NUMERIC keypad or the ARROWS. Then, press ENTER.
If a custom workout already has been created for that number, the MESSAGE CENTER displays
a prompt to either modify the workout or proceed to another number. Pressing the CLEAR key
overwrites the previously created workout, making it possible to create a new workout for that
number. Pressing ENTER bypasses the number and proceeds to another number. If a custom
workout has not been created for a selected number, the MESSAGE CENTER displays the
prompt, "BEGIN PERSONAL WORKOUT CREATION."
The MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to enter a duration time for the entire workout.
Using the NUMERIC keypad, enter a duration and press ENTER. The workout cannot exceed
the maximum time duration, which is defined in the Optional Settings. See Section 5.1 for more
information. The MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to select the workout type. Options are
TARGET HEART RATE PERCENTAGE or LEVEL. The latter type is for custom hill workouts.
Use the ARROW keys to toggle between the options, and press ENTER to select one of them.
The MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to select a target heart rate or an intensity level for
the first interval, depending on the type of workout chosen in an earlier step. Use the ARROW
keys or the NUMERIC keypad. A custom workout consists of 30 intervals, so the length of each
interval is equal to the workout duration value divided by 30. After entering the value, press
ENTER. Repeat this set of steps for each of the following 29 intervals. To keep the preceding
value for the current interval, simply press ENTER.
At the end of this setup, the MESSAGE CENTER displays “PERSONAL WORKOUT COMPLET-
ED”. Afterward, the MESSAGE CENTER displays “SELECT WORKOUT OR PRESS QUICK
START”. The new custom workout is ready to use.
