After selecting a Hill workout, you will be asked to enter your desired workout
time in minutes. Enter a number from 10 to 60† minutes and press ENTER.

Once you have selected the duration of your Hill workout the program will
begin. Just choose an effort level between 0 (easiest) and 12 (hardest).
The Lifecycle 9100R aerobic trainer's patented Hill program offers the ideal configu-
ration for interval training: periods of intense aerobic activity separated by regular
intervals of lower-intensity exercise. Interval training programs have been scientifically
demonstrated to yield greater cardiorespiratory improvement than steady-pace
training.
Not only does the Hill program offer the challenge of alternating periods of high and
low intensity, but the levels of intensity become progressively more difficult during the
course of the program. Because you have the option of working out in a Hill program
for anywhere from 1 to 60† minutes, and because the Hill program is composed of
four distinct phases, the 20 intervals that make up the program must be structured
differently to accommodate the entire array of program durations. Longer workouts
add more hills.
† 60 minutes is the factory setting for the Maximum Program Duration. To increase or decrease the Maximum
Program Duration see the Optional Settings for the Lifecycle 9100R Aerobic Trainer section.
