Cardio Run
(20 minute default)
Cardio Run is a steady pace workout
but at a higher intensity than "Long Slow Distance". Cardio Run is a more
advanced workout, designed to motivate you to achieve a more challenging
steady pace and maintain that pace for the full duration of the workout. Cardio
Run is a great workout if you are training for a special event.
Short Interval 2
(20 minute default)
Short interval workouts have been
found in research studies to be ideal for those striving to lose weight and improve
cardiovascular fitness. Varying exercise intensity from a moderately slow level
to a high intensity for a set period of time and repeating that progression for
a complete workout will maximize the number of calories burned. The short
interval recovery periods allows the body to more successfully exercise at a higher
intensity than might otherwise be comfortable for a complete workout duration.
Uphill Walk
(30 minute default)
The uphill walk gradually increases
the intensity of your exercise peaking
at a high intensity. The goal of the uphill workout is to stimulate your body
to improve overall cardiovascular fitness, while also maximizing muscle cell
development. The Uphill Walk has been designed to start slow and gradually
increase to a peak intensity then with a quick decrease back to a recovery level.
You will maximize calorie burn during the peak intensity levels while allowing
your body to exercise for longer periods.
Custom User Programs
There are two user programs that provide you with the ability to build custom
program profiles for your specific workout requirements. In Custom User Programs
you set the workout time and then for each of the 20 program segments you set
the speed and incline. This program is different than our preset programs in that
both speed and incline can be controlled simultaneously. As such, the program
matrix display readout will show both incline and speed at the same time. The
speed and incline are represented in different colors so they are easy to see.
NOTE:
Remember that the console needs to receive your heart rate
through the grip pulse or a heart rate chest strap during the course of
the workout.
