7. Heart Rate Interval Workout (Experienced – Fit) *Chest strap must be worn to execute the workout.

Access: This workout can be started by using the HEARTSYNC WORK- OUTS button to scroll to the HEART RATE INTERVAL workout proﬁle and pressing ENTER.

Description: The user must wear a chest strap for this workout to adequately operate. This program only uses incline adjustments to

increase and decrease heart rate. This program alternates between a hill that brings the target heart rate up to 80% of the user’s heart rate max and a valley that brings the target heart rate down to 65% of the

user’s heart rate max. After the warm-up, the intensity of the workout increases until the user reaches 80% of their heart rate max, which is the ﬁrst hill. Once the user reaches a target heart rate of 80%, the program will hold the intensity level for three minutes. When the hill is completed the program creates a valley, reducing the intensity until a target heart rate of 65% is reached. This sequence continues for all three hills and valleys. At the end of the duration of hills and valleys, the workout enters a cool down phase. Note that if the user does not reach a heart rate goal after ﬁve minutes, the message center displays a prompt to increase or decrease speed, depending on whether the workout is in a hill or valley phase. The program does not proceed to a new heart rate goal until the user reaches the current goal.

Goal: The design intent of the HEART RATE INTERVAL workout was to develop a program that adapts to the user’s

ﬁtness level and is more challenging than the HEART RATE HILL workout. As a user becomes more ﬁt, they encounter additional hills and valleys in the same workout duration. This is because their heart rate is recovering more quickly during valleys.

8. Extreme Heart Rate Workout (Advanced – Athlete) *Chest strap must be worn to execute the workout.

Access: This workout can be started by using the HEARTSYNC WORK- OUTS button to scroll to the EXTREME HEART RATE workout proﬁle and pressing ENTER.

Description: The user must wear a chest strap for this workout to adequately operate. This program only uses incline adjustments to

increase and decrease heart rate. This program alternates between two target heart rates of 85% and 65% of the user’s max heart rate alter- nating as quickly as possible. The effect is similar to that of performing

sprints. During the workout once either of the two target heart rates is reached, it is held for 20 seconds and then the intensity changes to meet the other target heart rate.

Goal: The design of this workout is sports speciﬁc, challenging users with short bursts of resistance. The goal of this workout is to help the advanced users break through ﬁtness improvement plateaus.
