39VIRTUAL REALITY PROGRAMSVR Programs begin a new era in treadmill exercise technology. Until the introduction of VR Programs all treadmills pre-programmedworkouts were based upon time. VR Programs are based upon distance thereby duplicating the outdoor walk/jog/run experience. Theyare in essence virtual reality programs. There are two distinct and separate operating modes for VR Programs.Manual Mode:The user sets the speed that they desire and begins the VR Program. In standard time based programs when you encounterprogram changes (hills, mountains, valleys, etc.) the user will take the same amount of time to complete the program profile regardless ofthe user’s speed. VR Programs add effect to speed by increasing or decreasing the amount of time (depending on speed) necessary tocomplete the profile. For example: If you are walking at 3 mph and encounter a hill it may take 30 seconds to complete the hill (ascend &descend). On time based programs it will take that same 30 seconds to complete the hill no matter what speed you are exercising at.With VR Programs the hill will be shortened or lengthened depending upon your speed. That same hill that took 30 seconds to complete at3 mph will take only 15 seconds to complete at 6 mph. This method of exercising mimics the way one exercises outdoors.Constant Effort Compensation Mode:VR Programs provide challenging program profiles that will automatically adjust the program speed to provide the user withconstant exercise intensity when encountering program changes (hills, valleys, mountains, etc). For example: While running at 6 mph theuser encounters a hill. The PaceMaster Gold Elite VR will automatically slow your speed in order to keep you in the same calorie burn perminute range you were in prior to encountering the hill. This creates constant program intensity while varying the muscle groups beingused (through the integration of hills, mountains, valleys, etc.) without increasing the program intensity to extreme levels. It’s like cruisecontrol for your programs based upon constant calorie burn rates per minute. VR Programs when used in the Constant EffortCompensation Mode will provide frequent and challenging speed and incline adjustments helping to keep the user interested and involvedwith their program thereby eliminating boredom from your daily exercise regime.Using V1, V2, V3, and V4 in Manual Mode:Step One:Stand on the running belt and attach the garment clip on the end of the magnetic safety key to your clothing. Insert the safety key into it’srecess on the control panel.TIP: If you have selected your user ID, go to Step Three.Step Two:Press the Incline buttons to set your weight and the Speed buttons to set your age, then press thebutton.Step Three:In the Profile window press the button to select V1 Lombard Street, V2 Steeple Chase, V3 Appalachian Trail, or V4 SummitClimb, the program number (V1, V2, V3 or V4) will be displayed in the Right Data Display window. The default program distance will bedisplayed in the Left Data Display window while the default speed will be displayed in the Speed window. The Incline display window willdisplay the maximum elevation of the chosen program noted by the illumination of the Max indicator LED light in the upper right of theIncline display. The Profile will display a graphic representation of the program intensity. The Timer window displays the amount of timeneeded to complete the program at the displayed Speed.TIP: There is no automatic Warm Up and Cool Down integrated into the VR Programs. In order to add an automatic Warm Up and / orCool Down to the VR Program, press the Warm Up / Cool Down button until the appropriate Warm Up and / or Cool Down indicator LEDlights illuminate in the Profile display window. |
