Program Proles
Remember, if you simply get on your treadmill and go at the same pace, for the
same amount of time everyday your body will only improve to the level of the
workouts you are pushing yourself to do. To help get the most out of your time
spent exercising, LifeSpan treadmills include a full range of workout programs. All
programs are available in either “Speed” or “Incline” mode with 3 levels of intensity
that you select during program set-up. When the “Speed” mode is selected, the
belt speed will vary during your workout while the incline level stays constant. In
“Incline” mode the speed remains constant while the incline is adjusted by the
program. In either mode you have full control of the setting that is not being
controlled by the program.
To complement these preset programs you also can use either of the 2 types of
heart rate training programs or design your own program.
The treadmills have a three-minute warm-up and cool down to the preset
programs. It starts at 3 mph (for warm up) or 2.5 mph (for cool down), but you have
full control over the speed. To skip warm-up, press Start. To skip cool down, press
Stop. The distance, steps, time, and calories you accumulate in warm-up and cool
down are not counted in your workout totals.
Preset Programs
Long Slow Distance
(40 minutes default)
Long slow distance is a great workout
for anyone! Beginners can ease into their exercise program and should include
a long slow distance workout each week to maximize overall cardiovascular
endurance development. Long slow distance workouts are also great for
experienced exercisers on days following a harder, higher intensity workout.
Short Interval
(20 minute default)
Short intervals are ideal for beginning
exercisers that want to start gaining the benets of interval workouts but aren’t
quite ready for a longer-intensity interval workout. Short intervals are also ideal for
experienced exercisers to develop their speed and anaerobic tness. Remember,
it’s important to vary exercise intensity and duration to maximize overall tness
development so be sure to include some interval workouts at least once a week.
