GLUTE BURN
The GLUTE BURN program contains eight
45 second sets of increased muscular effort.
These sets focus effort on the hamstring and
gluteals by utilizing muscle targeting incline
angles and increased resistance. This unique program design results in a
workout that is not only great cardiovascular and calorie burning exercise
but also allows users to add strength and muscle tone to their hamstring
and gluteal regions.
SCULPTOR PROGRAMS – 25 minutes to SCULPT a new YOU
The SCULPTOR programs were designed to work independently as
individual workouts or collectively as a weekly exercise routine promoting
weight loss and development of a toned upper and lower body in only 25
minutes a day. The different sculptor programs are so effective because
they alternate cardiovascular exercise intervals with SETS of higher
intensity exercise that use resistance, incline, and direction changes to
target specific muscle groups stimulating strength gains, increased muscle
tone, and greater calorie expenditures. This gives you the ability to create
a customized exercise routine that utilizes one or a combination of these
programs three to five times a week to SCULPT a new you in only 25
minutes a day.
CALF TONER
The CALF TONER program was created to
do just that, tone your calf and lower leg
while burning calories necessary to give
you slimmer legs. This program utilizes eight
45 second SETS of increased resistance along with direction changes to
place emphasis on the muscles in the lower legs. Standing on the balls of
the feet during these sets is an effective way to further recruit these lower
leg muscles.
17
CONSOLE
QUAD TONER
The QUAD TONER program was designed
to target the Quadriceps muscle group,
increasing strength and muscle tone through
eight 45 second sets of increased resistance
and incline changes while simultaneously
burning calories and working the cardiovascular system. This combination
of strength and aerobic exercise will lead to more eye-catching and
defined legs.
TOTAL BODY
The TOTAL BODY program has eight 45
seconds sets that use changes in body
position, resistance, and incline to target all
the muscle groups in your body. This program is great for overall strength
and conditioning.

CONSOLE
HRT PROGRAMS
TARGET HRT
The TARGET HRT program is designed to maintain
your heart rate at 70% of your predicted maximum
heart rate. It is intended to improve efficiency
and endurance of your cardiovascular system by
working your heart, lungs and circulatory systems.
This is a great workout for anyone, but beginners may want to start lower
and build their way up to 70% of their predicted maximum heart rate.
HRT HILL
The HRT HILL program uses four different Target Heart Rates to build
cardiovascular strength and endurance. The resistance will adjust until your
heart rate reaches the Target Heart Rate for four separate hills. The hills
will be set at 65%, 70%, 75%, and 80% of your predicted maximum heart
rate. The program will keep you at each heart rate level for one minute
from the time the Target Heart Rate is reached. The program will repeat
the series of hills until the workout time is complete.
HRT INTERVAL
The HRT INTERVAL program is designed to increase aerobic endurance
and your overall fitness level, increase endurance of muscle fibers, and
increase the amount of calories burned in your exercise session. This
program consists of alternating effort and recovery intervals. The Target
Heart Rate for your effort interval will be 80% of your predicted maximum
heart rate, while the Target Heart Rate for your recovery intervals will be
70% of your predicted maximum heart rate. The two-minute effort interval
begins when you reach your Target Heart Rate for that particular interval.
The recovery interval duration depends on the amount of time it takes to
get to your recovery heart rate.

your workout, the CUSTOM USER
program will save your resistance
and incline changes throughout the
program. Your settings will be saved
to provide an identical program
that can be selected for your next
exercise session.
ALL HRT PROGRAMS
During the workout, the user will grasp the hand pulse sensors or wear
the telemetric chest strap to send their heart rate signal to a receiver in the
console. The console will continuously monitor the heart rate, adjusting the
resistance level to keep your heart rate within several beats of your Target
Heart Rate. By using the SCAN key, the heart rate feedback window
conveniently displays your Heart Rate and % of Max. Heart Rate to keep
you informed about your current heart rate. Each program will begin with
a two-minute warm-up. When the workout time has been completed, the
console will begin a five-minute cool-down. The user will be responsible
for adjusting resistance to meet their needs during the warm-up and cooldown.
ADJUSTING TARGET HEART RATE
While exercising in one of the
HRT® programs, you may decide
the Target Heart Rate needs to be

USING THE SPRINT 8 PROGRAM
The Sprint 8 program is an anaerobic interval program designed to
build muscle, improve speed, and naturally increase the release of
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) in your body. Producing HGH through
exercise and a proper diet has been shown as an effective way to burn
fat and build 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 new
approach to fitness.
The SPRINT 8 program features intense sprint intervals followed by
recovery intervals. The program includes the following phases:
1. WARM-UP should gradually increase your heart rate and increase
respiration and blood flow to working muscles. The warm-up is
controlled by the user to meet your specific needs.
2.
INTERVAL TRAINING starts immediately after the warm-up with a
30-second sprint interval. Seven recovery intervals of one minute
and 30 seconds will alternate with the eight 30-second sprint
intervals. The message display will prompt you to increase your
strides per minute (SPM) during the sprint interval and decrease
SPM during the recovery interval. A difference of 40 to 60 SPM
between sprint interval and recovery interval is recommended.
3.
COOL-DOWN helps return your body’s systems to resting levels. Less
demand is placed on your heart during recovery if an appropriate
cool-down is used following the exercise.
Due to the fact that this is a specialized training program, total workout
time is not displayed during the program. The interval time is displayed in
the time window instead. It takes only 20 minutes to complete the SPRINT
8 workout.

USING HEART RATE TRAINING
WHAT IS HEART RATE TRAINING?
Heart Rate Training means exercising at an intensity that keeps you in your
ideal heart rate zone. Your personal heart rate training zone depends
on your fitness goal, such as weight loss, cardiovascular endurance, or
strength building. Refer to Page 34 for more information on heart rate
training zones. VISION FITNESS HRT® programs are set up to keep
you at an ideal heart rate based on your fitness goal. These programs
automatically adjust resistance based on your heart rate readings.
The console features three programs (Target HRT, HRT Hill, and HRT Interval)
that offer the benefits of Heart Rate Training.
• These programs use the predicted maximum heart rate formula
(220 minus age) to determine your predicted maximum heart rate.
Some individuals have higher or lower maximum heart rates than
determined by this formula. The programs allow you to modify your
Target Heart Rate to achieve your personal goals.
HAND PULSE HEART RATE SENSORS
The Contact Hand Pulse Sensors are
included on each product to monitor
your heart rate. To use, grasp the
sensors with a comfortable grip
during your workout. The console
will display your heart rate. Although
your signal will be displayed
immediately, it may take the system
a few seconds to zero in on your
actual heart rate.
NOTE: The Contact Hand Pulse Sensors will work for the HRT
®
programs,
but it is recommended to use the telemetric chest strap for an uninterrupted
signal and ease of use.
WARNING: Heart rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate. Over exercise
may result in serious injury or death. If you feel faint stop exercising
immediately.
25
CONSOLE
TELEMETRIC HEART RATE CHEST STRAP
The wireless Telemetric Chest Strap uses a pair of electrodes on the
underside of the strap to send your heart rate signal to the console. Prior
to wearing the chest strap, moisten the two rubber electrode pads with
several drops of water. These electrodes must remain wet to provide an
accurate signal. We advise using the chest strap against your skin, but it
also functions through a thin layer of wet clothing.
STRAP PLACEMENT
Center the transmitter strap just below the breast or pectoral muscles,
directly over your sternum with the logo facing out. Adjust the elastic strap
so it is snug but comfortable enough for proper breathing.
