Applies to: Atmos Home Treadmill — SE4 Console
A Calorie goal workout on your Atmos Home Treadmill with the SE4 console counts toward a calorie total you choose, from 100 to 2000. Because calories are estimated from your weight, entering it accurately matters here. This article shows how to set the goal, enter your weight, choose a terrain, and set your starting speed and incline level.
Read the steps below, or watch the short video.
Setting it up
- Tap Choose Workout on the home screen, then Goal Workouts & Tests.
- Tap Calories. A short description appears — tap Set Up Workout to continue.
- Enter your calorie goal, between 100 and 2000.
- Enter your weight, between 75 and 400 lbs. The calorie estimate is calculated from this, so use a realistic figure.
- Pick your terrain from the list.
- Set your starting speed and your level.
- Tap Start. The console counts down from three and the belt starts.
| Speed is your starting speed — it will not change unless you adjust it yourself. Level is the highest incline the workout will reach, not the level it starts at. |

Choosing your terrain
Every goal workout asks you to pick a terrain. This is the shape of the climb, and it runs in the background while you work toward your goal.
| Terrain | What the incline does |
| Flat | Holds a steady incline for the whole workout. |
| Hill Interval | Alternates between two incline levels. |
| Rolling Hills | Rises and falls steadily through consistent levels. |
| Random | Changes incline unpredictably. |
| Kilimanjaro | Climbs to a peak, then descends. |
During your workout
Your calorie total builds at the top of the screen. Adding incline raises it considerably faster than adding speed, and is much easier on the joints.
Speed and incline stay under your control throughout — use the – and + controls, or the Quick Speed and Quick Incline shortcuts. Tap the Entertainment, Terrain, or Stats tiles to change what is on screen. The blue button switches into cool down mode, and the red button pauses and then ends your workout.
Troubleshooting
- The calories are counting up more slowly than I expected. Check the weight you entered, then add incline. A brisk walk up a hill burns more than a flat jog.
- Are these numbers accurate? They are an estimate, calculated from your weight, speed, and incline. Treat them as a way to compare your own workouts rather than an exact measurement.
- The console will not accept my goal. Calorie goals run from 100 to 2000, and weight from 75 to 400 lbs.
Safety Do not chase a calorie number past the point of comfort. Stop if you feel dizzy, short of breath, or unwell, and clip the emergency stop cord to your clothing before every workout. |
