COOL-DOWN(9000HR ONLY)

4.3WORKOUT DESCRIPTIONS

MANUAL

The MANUAL program sets an intensity level that does not change automatically. While the work- out is in progress, increase or lower the intensity level as desired, using the SPEED and/or INCLINE ARROW keys.

HILL (9000HR ONLY)

The Life Fitness-patented HILL workout offers a variety of configurations for interval training. Intervals are periods of intense cardiovascular exercise separated by regular periods of lower-intensity exercise. The WORKOUT

PROFILE window represents these high

and low intervals as columns of light, which together have the appearance of hills and

valleys. The computerized interval training workout has been scientifically demonstrated to pro- mote greater cardiorespiratory improvement than steady-pace training.

The HILL workout goes through four phases, each marked by different intensity levels. The WORK- OUT PROFILE window displays the progress of these phases. As noted in the descriptions below, the heart rate should be measured at two stages in the workout to gauge its effectiveness. Wear the chest strap or continuously grip the Lifepulse system sensors (9000HR only). The MESSAGE CEN- TER does not display a request for a heart rate measurement, as it does with CARDIO and FAT BURN.
