Programs and training options :
The VirtuFit Elite TR-500i Loopband features 30 programs to challenge you and diversify your workouts. These include 24 pre-programmed workouts, 3 customized programs, 2 heart rate-controlled programs and a body fat measurement program. When using a heart rate-based program, be sure to hold the hand sensors or use a wireless chest belt to measure your heart rate. In addition to the chest belt VirtuFit, the TR-500i’s signal receiver is compatible with other chest belts such as those from Polar. Heart rate-based programs ask you your age and then set a heart rate target. You can adjust the lens yourself. During your workout, the program automatically adjusts incline and speed to maintain your heart rate at the set target. If you manually change the speed, the program adjusts the inclination and vice versa.

Speeds range from 0.8 to 20 km/h, and inclines up to 15%. These settings suit even the most enthusiastic runners for intensive training. You can also manually adjust speed and inclination using the on-screen quick keys. Speed can be fine-tuned in 0.1 km/h increments, and by holding down the button, you can increase or decrease speed more rapidly.
