Starting a Workout
Interval Key
Interval workouts help exercisers improve strength,
endurance, aerobic and anaerobic fitness. They alternate
short bursts of high intensity activity with recovery periods.
Pressing the Interval key selects the available interval
workout.
Note: On the AMT, two different interval workouts are
available. Press the Interval key repeatedly to scroll between
the available workouts.
1-1 and 1-2 Interval
The 1-1 Interval workout is designed to raise and lower your
heart rate in a repeating fashion for a user-defined period of
time by alternating rest and work intervals of two minutes
each. Likewise, the 1-2 Interval workout alternates two
minutes of rest with four minutes of work.
Training tip: You can tailor your rest and work period
intensity further by adjusting either of the intensity settings at
any time. The equipment remembers these preferences for
each upcoming interval.
Custom Interval
The Custom Interval workout is similar to the Interval
workout. However, before you begin, you must specify the
length of the rest and work intervals. Use either the arrow
keys or the keypad to select a duration between 1 and 30
minutes, then press OK to enter your selection. After you
have entered both durations, your workout begins.
Training tip: Depending on your fitness level and workout
goals, you can set your recovery period as low as one minute
between work intervals. For the work intervals themselves,
you can set any duration between 1 and 30 minutes.
Customizing the proportions of your work and rest intervals
based on your unique training objectives will speed your
progress toward your performance goals.
