  • Allow a few seconds for changes to take effect

Safety Considerations

When adjusting during workout:

  • Hold handrails when changing speed
  • Make gradual incline changes
  • Don't make drastic speed increases while running
  • Test new settings at lower speeds first

Tips for Effective Control

Start Conservative

When trying new speeds/inclines:

  • Start lower than you think
  • Gradually increase
  • Get comfortable before going harder

Use Presets

For frequently used settings:

  • Create programs with your favorite configs
  • Save time adjusting
  • Consistency in training

Know Your Limits

Before adjusting:

  • Know your comfortable speed range
  • Test inclines at walking pace first
  • Don't jump from 6 to 12 km/h instantly

Combine Speed and Incline

For effective workouts:

  • Higher incline = lower speed
  • Flat running = higher speeds
  • Vary both for interval training

Monitor Heart Rate

When adjusting intensity:

  • Watch heart rate response
  • Stay in target zones
  • Allow 30-60s for HR to stabilize

STOP IF SOMETHING DOES NOT FEEL RIGHT

When using the app or in general using the device you feel something is not right - stop the workout immediately. Don't risk your health and wellbeing.
