About Your Treadmill
Ladder
(30 minute default)
One of the greatest benefits
of exercise are the direct
benefits exercise has on the heart and cardiovascular system. The Heart
Health Ladder has been specifically designed to provide your heart and
cardiovascular system with a series of progressively harder exercise
intensity's that will improve your overall aerobic endurance, while also
stimulating anaerobic endurance. Remember that it may be challenging for
a few minutes, but each progression has been carefully designed to provide
recovery intervals so you can push to improve your cardiovascular fitness.
Uphill Interval
(20 minute default)
Uphill Interval workouts are unique
in that they provide your body with the benefits of an interval workout,
with the added benefits of gradually increasing the overall intensity. In this
workout you should begin at a level that is comfortable and then increase
the intensity during each maximum interval, pushing to a slightly higher
intensity each time. You will get maximum overall calorie burn during of the
higher intensity intervals, while at the same time working on improving your
overall anaerobic fitness.
Steady Pace
(40 minute default)
Improve your fitness while also
simulating your body to burn more fat with this workout. Steady Pace
workouts are great for helping you establish an improved overall endurance
base. Most "Steady Pace" workouts focus on maintaining one set workload
throughout the entire workout. Your goal is to be sure you are exercising
within a low moderate intensity to a high moderate intensity during the
workout.
