HEART RATE INTERVALTM WORKOUT

This program alternates between a hill, which brings the heart rate up to the target rate*, and a valley, which brings the heart rate down to 90 percent of the target. After a warm-up, the workout progresses toward the first hill and heart rate goal. Once the goal is reached, the hill continues for three minutes. Then the level decreases into a valley. Once the 90 percent goal is reached, the valley continues for three minutes, after which the next hill begins. The user's fitness level determines the number of hills and valleys encountered within the duration. See the chart below. Throughout the workout, the user must grasp the Lifepulse system sensors or wear a Polar heart rate chest strap to enable the program to monitor the heart rate.

User Example 80 percent of theoretical maximum (40 year old / 144 recommended THR)

Defined by the American College of Sports Medicine's "Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription" as equal to 220 minus an individual’s age.

*Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax). A 40-year-old user's recommended THR for the HEART RATE INTERVAL workout is 144, or 80 percent of the maximum; so the equation would be (220-40)*.80 = 144.
