Strength
Resistance: This program has a gradual progression of resistance up to 100% of maximum effort
that is sustained for 25% of workout duration. This will help build strength and muscular endurance
in the lower body and glutes. A brief cool down follows.
Incline: There is a quick climb to a moderate, sustained elevation that lasts the majority of the
workout length.
RESISTANCE
Interval
Resistance: This program takes you through high levels of intensity followed by recovery periods of
low intensity. This program utilizes and develops your "Fast Twitch" muscle fibers which are used
when performing tasks that are intense and short in duration. These deplete your oxygen level and
spike your heart rate, followed by periods of recovery and heart rate drop to replenish oxygen. Your
cardiovascular system gets programmed to use oxygen more efficiently.
Incline: This program will spike similar to the resistance profile, but in different segments (columns);
this means that all of your lower extremity muscles will be equally challenged throughout this
program. The incline alternates between 25 & 65 % of maximum elevation.
