About Your Treadmill
Fartlek
(30 minute default)
Varying your exercise intensity
with a constantly changing interval
workout that starts out at an easy pace and then increases to a moderate or
higher intensity pace will add variety into your workouts, make workouts go
by faster and provide great fitness benefits. Constantly varying intensities
in a workout have been found in brain research to have great benefits on
improving overall brain fitness.
Uphill Climb
(30 minute default)
Gradually increase the intensity
of your exercise with this fun
Uphill Climb workout. The goal of the Uphill Climb is to stimulate your body
to improve overall cardiovascular fitness while maximizing muscle cell
development in working muscles. You will maximize calorie burn during the
peak levels while allowing your body to exercise longer and still benefit from
the higher intensity as you slow down and return to your starting level.
Pyramid Climb
(30 minute default)
Gradual increases in intensity is
ideal to stimulate your body to
improve overall cardiovascular fitness, while also maximizing muscle cell
development in working muscles. You will maximize overall calorie burn
during the peak intensity levels while allowing your body to exercise for a
longer duration and still benefit from the higher intensity as you gradually
slowdown.
Plateau Climb
(40 minute default)
A Plateau Climb workout will
provide you with all the benefits of
other steady state workouts, but push you to maintain a higher steady state
exercise level. As you improve your overall health and fitness you can slowly
push to a higher overall intensity for longer periods of time.
