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 computer- ized interval training workout has been scientifically demonstrated to promote greater cardiorespiratory improvement than steady-pace training.

ORKOUTS The Life Fitness patented HILL + workouts give even more ways to vary interval training. Based on the same principles as the CLASSIC HILL workout, Hill + workouts are customized to resemble different locations/training scenarios to add variety and challenge to Hill workouts.
