Cybex Owner’s Manual Appendix - Workout Overviews 1 Weight Loss The Weight Loss workout uses a series of relatively minor changes in its five-minute core to add an incremental demand. The five-minute core utilizes a baseline incline for two minutes and then increases the incline for added demand and then provides a slightly lower Incline for two-minutes for recovery.
Cybex Owner’s Manual 2 Rolling Hills The Rolling Hills workout uses an eight-minute core intended to mimic variety in terrain that might be found on a hilly outdoor run. The eight-minute core is composed of four segments. The baseline segment is two –minutes in length and is followed by two two-minute segments of increase Incline before returning to the intermediate incline for two-minutes.
Cybex Owner’s Manual 3 Hills The Hills workout uses a six-minute core utilizing one minute segments with mild Incline changes and two relative peak segments followed by relative rest segments. Time 1:00 1:00 1:00 1:00 1:00 1:00 Warm Up Core Segments...
Cybex Owner’s Manual 4 Pikes Peak Pikes Peak uses a nine-minute core where the incline increases every minute for the first five minutes. After the fifth minute of the core workout, the incline is reduced each minute. This workout uses continuous and gradual changes to give the user time to acclimate to demand and recover without large perceived changes in the effort required.
Cybex Owner’s Manual 5 Hill Interval 1:1 This workout is designed for to increase capability by alternating two minute work segments with two minutes of relative rest. The intensity of rest periods is greater here than in Hill Interval 1:2 as is the duration of the work interval making this workout more demanding than Hill Interval 1:2.
Cybex Owner’s Manual 6 Hill Interval 1:2 This workout is designed for to through a one-minute work interval at a high incline followed by a two minute rest interval at a substantially lower incline. Given the lower incline and longer rest intervals this workout is less intense than Hill Interval 1:1.
Cybex Owner’s Manual 7 Hill Interval 1:3 Hill Interval 1:3 utilizes a one-minute work interval followed by a three-minute rest interval. The rest intervals are of a higher incline that those found in the other Hill Interval workouts, and therefore require a longer recovery period.
Cybex Owner’s Manual 8 Cardio The Cardio workout is designed to maintain a high total demand using two four-minute segments of alternating incline. This allows prolonged intervals that take advantage of long-term energy systems and total aerobic capability when associated with speeds that require a high sustained cardiovascular demand.
Cybex Owner’s Manual 9 - Heartrate Control (E3 View Monitor Option) The Heartrate Control (HRC) program will attempt to bring the user to their target heartrate in 3-5 minutes, then keep them there for the duration of the body of the program. A Cool Down is built in to the end of the program.
