Heart Rate Hill and Heart Rate Interval Workouts

CARDIO WORKOUT

CARDIO is a higher intensity workout for more fit users, emphasizing cardiovascular benefits and maximum fat burning. The Cardio Workout will automatically change the incline/resistance level to maintain the heart rate at 80% of the theoretical maximum. This workout is virtually identical to the Fat Burn Workout. The only difference is that the target heart rate† is calculated at 80% of a theoretical maximum to accentuate cardiovascular improvement by placing a heavier workload on the heart muscle.

NOTE: You can change the target heart rate at any time during a workout by using the Arrow Keys.

4.1.4HEART RATE HILL AND HEART RATE INTERVAL WORKOUTS

These workouts combine both the standard Hill Workout profiles with the Fat Burn and Cardio workout profiles. You are asked to enter your age as in standard Fat Burn and Cardio Heart Rate Workouts. A recommended workout heart rate is then calculated for you. You are shown this value and asked to accept or change it using the Arrow Keys and/or Enter Key. This value is used as the upper value of your workout zone. The lower values of this zone are automatically calculated based on which program you selected. During the workout your Heart Rate Zone is tracked to see how long you stay in your zone. If your heart rate reaches or goes past the Theoretical Maximum for more then 45 seconds, the unit will automatically drop into PAUSE mode.

HEART RATE HILL WORKOUT

HEART RATE HILL takes you through 3 intensity levels based on your target heart rate.This workout is similar to the standard heart rate program, except your Target Heart Rate goal varies. If you reach the first heart rate goal, then a new goal is set. This workout consists of 3 hills based on 3 heart rate goals: Hill #1 is 90% Target Heart Rate (THR). Hill #2 is 95% THR. Hill #3 is THR. The valley will always be defined as 85% of the THR.

The time, or duration you spend at a given heart rate goal is fixed at 1 minute once you reach your goal. If you don’t reach the given goal, you won’t encounter any other goals. Your fitness level determines the number of hills and valleys you encounter. Workout duration is based on time and thus can end during any Target Heart Rate goal.

†Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as 220 minus the age.
