The treadmill will store in its memory up to nine different users' information (age, weight, etc…). This allows the user to only input their data one time, after that they simply choose their user number for their profile to appear. This makes it very convenient for an entire family of users to quickly utilize their personal programs for treadmill workouts.

Quick Start/Manual Program - In the manual program all readouts count up once you start the treadmill. There are no preset speeds, inclines, or goals. The user can alter the speed or incline at their preference at anytime during the workout. The treadmill will not automatically change the speed or the incline at any time; the user must do so manually. This program is automatically chosen if the user just pushes the start button without choosing a program.

P1: Time Goal Program - Once the user selects this program they are prompted to enter the amount of time the program will run. Then the user starts the treadmill and the treadmill will count down the time specified and other displays will count up until the treadmill stops. The user still manually adjusts speed and inclines during the workout.

P2: Distance Goal Program - Once the user selects this program they are prompted to enter the total distance the program will run. The user then starts the treadmill and the treadmill will count down the distance from the amount specified. The lap counter will display the target number of laps and count down as each lap is completed. The user still manually adjusts speed and inclines during the workout.

P3: Calorie Goal Program - Once the user selects this program they are prompted to enter the amount of calories they wish to burn during the workout. The calories display will count down from the pre-set calories and the other displays will count up until the treadmill stops. The user still manually adjusts speed and inclines during the workout.

P4: Killer Hills Program - The user chooses their workout level from 1 thru 12. Choosing a higher level will result in a higher incline level during the workout. The Time LED shows a pre-set workout time of 24 minutes; which can be adjusted higher or lower in four minute segments. Incline is changed automatically every two minutes during the workout, from a minimum grade % to a maximum grade % until the time counts down to zero. For example, with Level 1 the minimum grade percentage is "0", while the maximum grade percentage is "4". With level 12 you get a strenuous workout with a minimum grade percentage of "11", and a maximum grade percentage of "15". Speed is pre-set at 2 MPH, and can be adjusted manually to whatever the user desires.

P5: Speed Interval Program - The user chooses their workout level from 1 thru 12. The higher the selected level will result in higher speed levels during the workout. The Time LED shows a pre-set workout time of 24 minutes; which can be adjusted higher or lower in four minute segments. Speed will be changed automatically every two minutes during the workout, from a Minimum speed to Maximum speed until the time counts down to zero. For example, at level "1" the minimum speed is 1.8 mph, and the maximum speed is 3.0 mph. For serious runners there is level "12" with a minimum speed 4 mph and a maximum speed of 7.2 mph. Incline is pre-set at 0% and can be adjusted manually to what the user desires.

P6: Weight Loss program - The user chooses their workout level from 1 thru 12. The higher the level the more intense the workout is. The Time LED shows a pre-set workout time of 30 minutes; which can be adjusted higher or lower in five minute segments. Both speed and incline will change during the workout; the minimum speed/incline segments last two minutes, and the maximum speed/incline segments last three minutes. For example, with level "1" the minimum speed is 1.6 mph and the minimum incline is 0%, maximum speed is 2.8 mph and maximum incline is3%. With level 12 the minimum speed is 3.8 mph and the minimum grade is 4%, maximum speed is 5.0 mph and maximum incline is 14%.

P7: 5K Self Competition - The Distance LED will show 5 (KM)/ 3 (MILE). For new users there is a pre-set speed and incline % program in the computer. The user can change the speed and incline levels during the workout. The distance will count down to zero and then stop. The results will be shown in time and calories. This information will be saved and shown on the display. When the user selects this program in the future he can challenge himself against his previous time and calories.

P8: Heart Rate Control Program - This heart rate program is activated through the hand grip pulse monitor. The program can be utilized only through the hand grip pulse monitor, and constant contact with the sensor must be maintained to enable the program.

This program consists of a "Warm Up" and "Main Program". The Time LED is pre-set to 60 minutes, but can be adjusted up or down by the user. The treadmill determines a pre-set maximum target heart rate based upon the users age, or the user can adjust it to whatever maximum target workout rate they want. (This should be subject to the user's physical condition and determined after consulting with a physician.)

The Warm Up is three minutes long to help the user reach the minimum target workout rate. The treadmill does this by changing the elevation in 1% increments every 30 seconds. After the 3 minute warm up period, the Main program will begin. If the minimum target heart rate has not been reached by elevation, the speed will increase in .5 mph. increments again every 30 seconds for three minutes. If the HR target is exceeded, the speed will slow by .5 mph to allow the user to adjust accordingly. After the initial three minutes of the "Main Program" the program will switch back to using elevation as in the "Warm Up" phase. Every three minutes the program is designed to switch between these elevation and speed changes to help you to reach your HR target.

At any time the user may lower/raise the elevation or speed and the subsequent changes will be made from that point forward. The user must maintain contact with the pulse grip sensors at all times for this program to operate properly. As constant contact must be made, this is considered primarily a "Walkers" program.

Overview - The programs are designed with the users' goals in mind, whatever they may be. The first three programs are ideal for someone just starting out, or for an individual trying to walk or run a certain distance or burn a certain prescribed number of calories. The motivational value of seeing the laps count down or the calories tick off is tremendous incentive. Don't forget that the ¼ mile track and lap counter will show you your progress no matter what course you use on the treadmill.

As the users' fitness level improves, it is easy to challenge themselves by adding a lap or two to their workout. The pre-set courses provide challenges for users at all levels of fitness. By gradually increasing the levels of intensity you will find an improvement in your cardio capacity and your overall health and fitness.
