QUICK START
is the fastest way to begin exercising and bypasses the steps of selecting a specific workout program. The
intensity level for the workout is set automatically and remains the same unless manually changed. To change the level,
use the LEVEL arrow keys or use the NUMERIC KEYPAD to enter a higher or lower level number.
M
ANUAL
The
MANUAL
program sets an intensity level that does not change automatically. While the workout is in progress, raise or
lower the intensity level as desired using the ARROW keys.

The
RANDOM
program creates a terrain of hills and valleys that varies with each workout. More than one million different
patterns are possible.

The
FAT BURN
workout is designed to maintain a user’s heart rate at 65% of the theoretical maximum (HRmax) for opti-
mal results. Throughout the workout, the user wears a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap or grasps the Lifepulse
TM
sensors. If the user is not wearing a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap, the WORKOUT PROFILE WINDOW displays a
heart shape, and the MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to grasp the sensors. The console continuously monitors
and displays the heart rate, adjusting the intensity level of the Stairclimber to reach and maintain the target. This system
eliminates over-training and under-training, and it maximizes the aerobic benefits of exercise by using the body's fat
stores for fuel.

ARDIO
The
CARDIO
workout is virtually identical to
FAT BURN
, however the target heart rate is calculated at 80% of the theoret-
ical maximum (HRmax). The higher target promotes cardiovascular improvement by placing a heavier workload on the
heart muscle.
