Program Levels
The Cardiovascular, Interval, Random, Hill Climb and Speed Run programs have 5 individual exercise levels. LEVEL 1 is the easiest and
LEVEL 5 is the most difficult. This feature allows you to alter the intensity of your workout.
JustGo
TM
Program
The JustGo
TM
program allows you to start a manual exercise with the push of one key. Since the JustGo
TM
program is the initial program, it
will always be displayed first for easy selection. You have total control of the speed and elevation of the belt at all times during this program.
Use the JustGo
TM
program if you like to walk or run at fairly constant speeds with little or no changes during the exercise.
During the exercise, the speed and elevation that you select will remain for the entire exercise until the next change you make.
Your progression in the exercise is shown by one flashing dot.
To start exercising in the JustGo
TM
program:
1. Press the JustGo
TM
/ENTER key when the JustGo
TM
program is displayed on the screen. The running belt will slowly start
at 0.5 mph or 0.8 km/h and at 0% elevation with the exercise duration automatically set to the maximum.
The JustGo
TM
program does not allow the user to predetermine the exercise duration or enter a weight amount.
Therefore, the caloric expenditure and calories per hour values will be based on a user of 150 pounds or 68 kilograms.
The calorie values should therefore be used only as references when in the JustGo
TM
program.
2. Change the speed and elevation at all times by pressing the respective Speed and Elevation INCREASE and DECREASE keys.
3. You can pause, resume, end the program and save the program at anytime. It is not necessary to exercise the full duration to save the program.
Manual Program
The Manual program allows you to create your own exercise as you progress in the program. The speed and elevation are completely
controlled by the user at all times. At a glance, the JustGo
TM
and Manual programs seem very similar due to the fact that the user controls
both the speed and elevation at all times. The difference is that in the Manual program, you can select your exercise duration and weight for
a more accurate display of the calories.
During the exercise, the speed and elevation that you select will remain for the entire exercise until the next change you make. Your pro-
gression in the exercise is shown by one flashing dot.
To select the Manual program:
Press the MANUAL key (T280P – T280C only) or the INCREASE or DECREASE key until you reach the Manual program.
Press the JustGo
TM
/ENTER key to accept and follow the instructions shown in the central information window.
Cardiovascular Program
The Cardiovascular program has been designed to allow you to train at moderate intensity levels with short duration, high intensity periods
followed by a quick recovery period. The Cardiovascular program has predetermined speed and elevation profiles according to the selected
exercise levels. You can change the speed and elevation during the exercise if you find it too easy or hard.
The speed profile has a set of high intensity segments to greater work your heart muscles. Changing the speed manually will cause only that
segment to change. Changing the elevation manually will cause the entire profile to change.
The following table shows the different speeds and elevations for each level.
Level Speed (mph) Speed (km/h) Elevation (%)
1 1.0 to 4 1.6 to 6.4 0.0 to 2.0
2 3.0 to 6 4.0 to 9.6 0.0 to 3.0
3 4.0 to 7 8.0 to 11.2 0.0 to 4.0
4 5.0 to 8 8.0 to 12.9 0.0 to 5.0
5 6.0 to 9 9.7 to 14.5 0.0 to 6.0
To select the Cardiovascular program:
Press the CARDIOVASCULAR key (T280P – T280C only) or the INCREASE or DECREASE key until you reach the Cardiovascular program.
Press the JustGo
TM
/ENTER key to accept and follow the instructions shown in the central information window.
Interval Program
The Interval Training program allows you to exercise with constant high intensity workouts and rest periodically at set recovery periods.
The Interval Training program has predetermined speed and elevation profiles according to the selected exercise levels. You can
change the speed and elevation during the exercise if you find it too easy or hard.
If you are at a rest (low intensity) segment, then changing the speed manually will cause all the other segments to change.
If your are at a peak (high intensity) segment, then changing the speed manually will cause all the peak segments to change. Changing the
elevation manually will cause the entire elevation profile to change.
