Fartlek
(30 minute default)
Varying your exercise intensity
with a constantly changing interval
workout that starts out at an easy pace and then increases to a moderate or
higher intensity pace will add variety into your workouts, make workouts go
by faster and provide great fi tness benefi ts. Constantly varying intensities
in a workout have been found in brain research to have great benefi ts on
improving overall brain fi tness.
Uphill Climb
(30 minute default)
Gradually increase the intensity
of your exercise with this fun
Uphill Climb workout. The goal of the Uphill Climb is to stimulate your body
to improve overall cardiovascular fi tness while maximizing muscle cell
development in working muscles. You will maximize calorie burn during the
peak levels while allowing your body to exercise longer and still benefi t from
the higher intensity as you slow down and return to your starting level.
Pyramid Climb
(30 minute default)
Gradual increases in intensity is
ideal to stimulate your body to
improve overall cardiovascular fi tness, while also maximizing muscle cell
development in working muscles. You will maximize overall calorie burn
during the peak intensity levels while allowing your body to exercise for a
longer duration and still benefi t from the higher intensity as you gradually
slowdown.
Plateau Climb
(40 minute default)
A Plateau Climb workout will
provide you with all the benefi ts of
other steady state workouts, but push you to maintain a higher steady state
exercise level. As you improve your overall health and fi tness you can slowly
push to a higher overall intensity for longer periods of time.

Ladder
(30 minute default)
One of the greatest benefi ts
of exercise are the direct
benefi ts exercise has on the heart and cardiovascular system. The Heart
Health Ladder has been specifi cally designed to provide your heart and
cardiovascular system with a series of progressively harder exercise
intensity's that will improve your overall aerobic endurance, while also
stimulating anaerobic endurance. Remember that it may be challenging for
a few minutes, but each progression has been carefully designed to provide
recovery intervals so you can push to improve your cardiovascular fi tness.
Uphill Interval
(20 minute default)
Uphill Interval workouts are unique
in that they provide your body with the benefi ts of an interval workout,
with the added benefi ts of gradually increasing the overall intensity. In this
workout you should begin at a level that is comfortable and then increase
the intensity during each maximum interval, pushing to a slightly higher
intensity each time. You will get maximum overall calorie burn during of the
higher intensity intervals, while at the same time working on improving your
overall anaerobic fi tness.
Steady Pace
(40 minute default)
Improve your fi tness while also
simulating your body to burn more fat with this workout. Steady Pace
workouts are great for helping you establish an improved overall endurance
base. Most "Steady Pace" workouts focus on maintaining one set workload
throughout the entire workout. Your goal is to be sure you are exercising
within a low moderate intensity to a high moderate intensity during the
workout.
