INTERVAL is a Hill workout in which intensity levels rise and fall. The higher levels gradually incline toward a peak and then gradually decline.

CASCADES is a two-peak workout in which intensity levels gradually increase and decrease.

SPEED TRAINING is a Hill workout in which the intensity level alternates between high and low levels very quickly to simulate a typical speed-training workout.

PERSONAL TRAINER workouts are customized workouts designed either for the advanced user or to be used in connection with a personal trainer. These workouts include:

WATTS targets a rate of effort equal to a certain number of Watts. METs targets a rate of effort equal to a certain number of METs.

AEROBICS TRAINER is a workout that prompts the user to switch continuously between a high and low pedaling speeds. The speed intervals alternate in a pattern that promotes a build-up in the intensi- ty of the workout, followed by a build-down in intensity.

LIFE FITNESS FIT TEST measures cardiovascular fitness compared to other people of the same age and gender.

AIR FORCE PRT is similar to the Fit Test workout, except that this program is based upon a spe- cific predefined protocol. The available test is: AIR FORCE PHYSICAL READINESS TEST (PRT) - (U.S. MILITARY)
