The workout proﬁle window displays the levels of the intervals, which together have the appearance of hills and valleys. Incline adjustments are used to simulate the hills /valleys, speed is controlled by the user.

The HILL workout has two main phases in between the warm-up and cool down.

Plateau: Increases the intensity slightly and keeps it steady, to bring the heart rate to the low end of the target zone.

Interval Training: Is a series of increasingly steeper hills, alternating with valleys, or periods of recovery. The heart rate should rise to the high end of the target zone during this segment.

Goal: The computerized interval training workout has been scientiﬁcally demonstrated to promote greater cardio-respira- tory improvement than steady-pace training. The goal of this workout is to improve cardiovascular endurance and break through ﬁtness plateaus.
