EART ATE
This workout alternates between a hill, which brings the heart rate up to the target rate, and a
valley, which brings the heart rate down to 90 percent of the target. The user must wear a chest
strap or grip the Lifepulse
workout progresses toward the first hill and heart rate goal. Once the goal is reached, the hill
continues for three minutes. Then, the level decreases into a valley. Once the 90 percent goal is
reached, the valley continues for three minutes, after which the next hill begins. The user's fit-
ness level determines the number of hills and valleys encountered within the duration. At the
end of the duration, the workout goes into a cool-down phase. If the heart rate goes above the
theoretical maximum for more then 45 seconds, the treadmill automatically goes into pause
mode. If the user does not reach a heart rate goal after five minutes, the MESSAGE CENTER
displays a prompt to increase or decrease speed, depending on whether the workout is in a hill
or valley phase. The program does not proceed to a new heart rate goal until the user reaches
the current goal.
