    The RANDOM program creates a terrain of hills and valleys that varies with each workout. More than one million differ- ent patterns are possible. The Life Fitness-patented HILL workout offers a variety of configurations for interval training. Intervals are periods of intense cardiovascular exercise separated by regular periods of lower-intensity exercise. The CLASSIC PROFILE WINDOW repre- sents these high and low intervals as columns of light, which together have the appearance of hills and valleys.

  • Page 29: Heart

    1 to 9 minutes: A workout with a duration of less than 10 minutes is insufficient for the HILL program to complete all four phases adequately. The program, therefore, condenses a workout of this duration at various stages. 10 to 19 minutes: The interval durations initially are set at 30 seconds for a 10-minute workout. For every minute over 10, each interval increases by three seconds.
