PROGRAMS

Cardio

This program presents a quick progression up to near maximum

resistance level (default or user input level). It has slight fluctuations up

and down to allow your heart rate to elevate, and then recover repeatedly,

before beginning a quick cool down. This will build up your heart muscle

and increase blood flow and lung capacity

Incline: The elevation in this program is moderate. There are several

elevation spikes at different points of the workout.

Strength

This program has a gradual progression of speed 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.

HIIT

The HIIT program takes you through high levels of intensity followed

by periods of low intensity. This program increases your endurance by

depleting your oxygen level followed by periods of recovery to replenish

oxygen. Your cardiovascular system gets programmed to use oxygen

more efficiently this way. This program also forces your body to become

more efficient due to spikes in heart rate, between recovery periods. This

aids in heart rate recovery from intense activities.

Incline: This program will spike similar to the speed 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.
