Random, Manual, EZ Incline Workouttm | Life Fitness T5iw, T3i

1 to 9 minutes: A workout with a duration of less than 10 minutes is insufficient for the Hill program to complete all four phases adequately. The program, therefore, condenses a workout of this duration at various stages.

10 to 19 minutes: The interval durations initially are set at 30 seconds for a 10-minute workout. For every minute over 10, each interval increases by three seconds. A 15-minute workout consists of 20 intervals at 45 seconds each.

20 to 99 minutes: All intervals last 60 seconds. If the user adds minutes to the pre-set duration while the workout is in progress, the program adds hills and valleys that are identical to the first eight intervals of the Interval Training phase. This pattern repeats until the workout is completed. See the chart in section 4.5 depicting the range of incline percentages correlating to each “level” for this program.

RANDOM

The RANDOM program creates a terrain of hills and valleys that varies with each workout. More than one million different patterns are possible. See the chart in section 4.5 depicting the range of incline percentages correlating to each “level” for this program.

MANUAL

During a MANUAL workout, the program does not automatically change speed, incline, or time duration, as selected by the user during the workout setup. The user can increase or lower these values, using the ARROW keys. In this program, the user selects an incline percentage between 0 and 15%.

EZ INCLINE WORKOUTTM

In this incline-based workout, the gradual changes in elevation are extremely subtle, lowering perceived exertion. The cardiovascular workout is effective, efficient, and enjoyable at the same time.

The program consists of one hill. The user determines the elevation of the peak during the setup. This peak is reached after 75 percent of the workout is completed. Afterward, the incline gradually returns to zero percent.

NOTE: For workouts that are longer than 16 minutes, the level can be changed to any desired value. For workouts that are shorter than 16 minutes, the the level selection is limited.

SPORT TRAINING WORKOUTTM

This program simulates outdoor conditions that a runner would experience. The baseline level is a 1.5-percent grade, which simulates running on flat ground. A zero-percent grade simulates running downhill. Inclines last between 30 and 60 seconds. See the chart in section 4.5 depicting the range of incline percentages correlating to each “level” for this program.

5K SPORT TRAINING WORKOUT

This program simulates conditions that a runner would experience when training for a 5-kilometer race. The workout ends after the user completes 5 kilometers (3.1 miles).

10K SPORT TRAINING WORKOUT

This program simulates conditions that a runner would experience when training for a 10-kilometer race. The workout ends after the user completes 10 kilometers (6.2 miles).
