When the console is activated, hold down the COOLDOWN button and press the PERSONAL TRAINER
button simultaneously.
Using the ARROW keys, scroll to, and select, the “PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUT ENTRY” option and
press ENTER. (If the alternate option, “ERASE PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUTS”, is selected, the com-
puter deletes setup information for all
PERSONAL TRAINER
workouts and the MESSAGE CENTER dis-
plays "PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUTS ERASED". Then the MESSAGE CENTER displays "PERSON-
AL TRAINER WORKOUT ENTRY").
Select a number, from 1 to 6, to identify the new workout. Use the NUMERIC keypad or the ARROW keys.
Then press ENTER.
If a
PERSONAL TRAINER
workout already has been created for that number, the MESSAGE CENTER dis-
plays 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
PERSONAL TRAINER
workout has not been created for a selected number, the MESSAGE CENTER
displays the prompt, "BEGIN PERSONAL TRAINER 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 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 inter-
val, depending on the type of workout chosen in an earlier step. Use the ARROW keys or the NUMERIC key-
pad. A
PERSONAL TRAINER
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 TRAINER WORKOUT COMPLETED”. The
new
PERSONAL TRAINER
workout is ready to use.
Press the ENTER key to set up another workout. OR
Press the CLEAR key. The MESSAGE CENTER will display “SELECT WORKOUT OR PRESS QUICK
START”.
* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the CARDIO
workout is 144. This workout targets 80 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.
