If the heart rate detected is higher than the target zone by 10 BPM, theconsole will “beep” and the screen will display a warning message. If the heart rate detected is higher than the target zone by 15 BPM, theconsole will “beep” and display a warning message. This process willrepeat until heart rate has been reduced. If the user’s heart rate is 20 beats over their target zone, the Treadmillwill “beep” and shut down.PREMIERNOTE: At all times, the speed and elevation keys are operative for the user.28

WIRELESS CHEST TRANSMITTERPrior to wearing the strap on your chest, moisten the two rubbercontact pads with several drops of water and spread with your fingers.PREMIERTRANSMITTER STRAP PLACEMENTCenter the Transmitter Strap justbelow the breast or pectoralmuscles, directly over your sternumwith the logo facing out.Adjust the elastic strap length toavoid bouncing or sliding.GENERAL HEART RATE TRAINING RECOMMENDATIONSTo use the Heart Rate Training program, it is important to determine yourtarget heart rate zone, using the chart on Page 30. After determining yourtarget zone, you should use the Treadmill in MANUAL mode to see if thetarget zone you have selected is correct. This will give you a good baseto start your Heart Rate Training. If you feel your target zone is too low ortoo high, keep using the Treadmill in the MANUAL mode until you feelcomfortable during your workout; then you can begin using the Heart RateTraining program.29

TARGET HEART RATEPREMIERTarget Heart Rate is a percentage of your maximum heart rate. TargetHeart Rate will vary for each individual, depending on age, current levelof conditioning, and personal fitness goals. Exercise heart rate shouldrange from 55% to 85% of your maximum heart rate. As a point ofreference, we use the predicted maximum heart rate formula of (220minus age) to determine your heart rate training zone. Please use thefollowing chart to determine your predicted Target Heart Rate.EXAMPLE:If you are a 30-year-old, your predicted maximum heart rate is 190 basedon the (220 minus age) formula.220 – 30 190Based on the chart above, your heart rate training zone is 104 to 161,which is 55%–85% of 190.30

USING THE SPRINT 8 PROGRAMThe SPRINT 8 program is an anaerobic interval program designed tobuild muscle, improve speed, and naturally increase the release of HumanGrowth Hormone (HGH) in your body. Producing HGH through exerciseand a proper diet has been shown as an effective way to burn fat andbuild lean muscle mass according to Phil Campbell, author of Ready, Set,Go! Synergy Fitness. Please go to Mr. Campbell’s website,www.readysetgofitness.com, for more details about this radical newapproach to fitness.The SPRINT 8 program features intense sprint intervals followed byrecovery intervals. The program includes the following phases:1.WARM-UP (3:00) should gradually increase your heart rate andPREMIERincrease respiration and blood flow to working muscles.The warm-up is controlled by the user to meet your specific needs.2. INTERVAL TRAINING (14:30) starts immediately after the warm-upwith a 30-second sprint interval; changing both speed andelevation. Seven recovery intervals of one minute and 30 secondswill alternate with the eight 30-second sprint intervals. The sprintswill increase speed and elevation at the 3rd and 5th interval. Therecovery speed is about 2–3 mph slower than your sprint and therecovery elevation is 0. You can alter your speed using the SpeedQuick Keys or SPEED UP and DOWN arrows. To adjust theelevation; simply use the Elevation Quick Keys or ELEVATION UPand DOWN arrows.3. COOL-DOWN (2:30) helps return your body’s systems to restinglevels. Less demand is placed on your heart during recovery if anappropriate cool-down is used following the exercise.In order to keep track of each segment/interval, the segment time iscounted down in the timer. It takes only 20 minutes to complete theSPRINT 8 workout.31

COMMON TREADMILL QUESTIONSQ: Are the sounds my Treadmill makes normal?A: All Treadmills make a certain type of thumping noise due to the beltriding over the rollers. This noise will diminish over time, although it mightnot totally go away. With use, the belt will stretch, causing the belt to ridemore smoothly over the rollers. It might appear that one Treadmill islouder than another. There are many reasons for this and may not be dueto a defect.Q: Why is the Treadmill I had delivered louder than the one at the store?A: All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom becausethere is generally more background noise than in your home. This is dueto many acoustic differences. A number of precautions can be taken toreduce noise. For instance, a heavy rubber mat can help reducereverberation through the floor. And, finally, if a fitness product is placedclose to a wall, there will be more reflected noise.GENERALQ: When should I be worried about a noise?A: As long as the sounds your Treadmill makes are no louder than anormal conversational tone of voice, it is considered normal noise. If yourTreadmill is louder than this, you may want to call your service technician.Sometimes an initial diagnosis can be made over the phone.36
