The Hill diagram below shows the effort level and recovery periods encountered during a Hill workout. Effort and recovery periods are simulated on the display console by columns of lights in the Program Profile Window. The columns move from right to left during the workout. The higher the column, the higher the incline; consequently, you must increase the effort.
Heart Rate Check Points
For Fat Burning:
4First Heart Rate Check Point — Your heart rate should be between 60% and 70% of the theoretical maximum heart rate for your age category.
4Second Heart Rate Check Point — Your heart rate should be between 70% and 75% of the theoretical maximum heart rate for your age category.
For Cardio:
4First Heart Rate Check Point — Your heart rate should be between 75% and 80% of the theoretical maximum for your age category.
4Second Heart Rate Check Point — Your heart rate should be between 80% and 85% of the theoretical maximum for your age category.
Be sure to check your heart rate near the end of the plateau and interval training periods using the Lifepulse Sensors, (if so equipped), if not wearing an optional heart rate chest strap (see Hill diagram above). You should always take your heart rate at the time indicated to make sure you are staying within your target heart rate zone.
