acid, which tend to build up in muscles during a workout and contribute to muscle soreness.

Heart Rate Check Points: Check your heart rate near the end of the plateau period and at the end of the interval training period. You might want to press the PAUSE key and then check your heart rate. The treadmill will pause for up to five

minutes. You should always take your pulse at the times indicated to make sure you are staying within your personal

THRR.

The Hill Profile program below shows the effort level and recovery periods encountered during a Lifestride workout. Effort and recovery periods are simulated on the display console by columns of red and yellow lights in the Program Profile window. The columns move from right to left during the workout. The higher the column, the higher the incline. Consequently, you must increase your effort.
