Default Treadmill Question

Hi there,

I recently joined a gym, and I am having trouble figuring out the treadmill. I have done a fair bit of running outside, but these machines are getting the best of me!

How do I set up intervals? I have tried using the programs on the machine (lifefitness brand), but I always stop cause the warm up seems super slow! Is there a way to tell it what I want to do, or do I have to manually change the speed all the time?

Try looking up the user manual online to that model. Can you tell when you are there which model it is?

A.

If you can't find a program that's acceptable to nothing wrong with changing it manually.

The staff at the gym should help you learn the equipment. Many pre-programmed workouts kinda suck.
I wish my treadmill (at home) would let me create my own programs, but I just have to do it the old fashioned way (i.e.: increase and decrease settings on the fly )
