Built-in Programs

Programs have been added to the Executive Trainer so you can add some variety to your workouts. You can choose from one of 5 built-in programs, which will run you through a pre-selected speed and elevation curve. When choosing a program you select a maximum speed, maximum elevation and a time from 10 to 99 minutes. Once set, the treadmill will not go above the maximum number unless you manually override it. Each program is divided into 20 segments of equal time, beginning with 3 warm-up segments and ending with 2 cool-down segments. For example, a 40-minute program will contain 20 two-minute segments.

The following figures represent the 5 built-in programs in the Executive Trainer.

FAT BURN

The Fat Burn program features two elevation peaks matched to an inverse speed curve. The overall goal of this program is to elevate your heart rate, maintain the elevated heart rate for most of the workout, then gradually bring your heart rate down via the last three cool down segments.

INTERMEDIATE

The Intermediate program features five elevation peaks matched to a challenging speed curve. The overall goal of this program is to vary your heart rate by elevating and lowering it several times, providing you with a challenging cardiovascular workout.

ADVANCED

The Advanced program features high elevations combined with top speeds for an all-out workout. The overall goal of this program is to raise your heart rate with both speed and elevation for an advanced cardiovascular workout.

INTERVALS

The Intervals program features high speeds and elevations alternating with low speeds and elevations. The overall goal of this program is to vary your workout load, taking you from peak level to recovery eight times throughout your workout.

ENDURO

The Enduro program features a max speed run, mated with max elevation. The overall goal of this program is to raise your heart rate with both speed and elevation for the ultimate cardiovascular workout.
