ZONE TRAINING +
Zone Training workouts target specific ranges, or zones, for maintaining a heart rate to achieve maximum
exercise results.
HEART RATE HILLTM
This program combines the standard HILLworkout profile with the concept of Heart Rate Zone Training. The default tar-
get heart rate* is calculated as 80% of the theoretical maximum† (HRmax), but the user can adjust the target rate during
the workout setup. All hills and valleys are percentages of HRmax. The workout consists of three hills that target three
heart rate goals: The first hill brings the heart rate to 70%t of HRmax. The second hill increases the rate to 75% of
HRmax. The third hill matches the Target Heart Rate bringing the heart rate to 80% of HRmax. The valley always is
defined as 65 percent of HRmax.
After a standard three-minute warm-up, the workout progresses toward the first hill and heart rate goal. Once the user
reaches 70% of HRmax, the hill continues for one minute. When the minute expires, the level decreases into a valley.
Once the user's heart rate falls to 65% of HRmax, the valley continues for one minute. Then, the next hill begins with its
corresponding heart rate goal. After the user completes the third hill/valley pair, the program returns to the first hill and re-
peats the cycle as long as the duration allows. At the end of the duration, the workout goes into a cool-down phase. If the
heart rate goes above the theoretical maximum for more than 45 seconds, the treadmill automatically goes into pause
mode. If the user does not reach a heart rate goal after five minutes, the MESSAGE CENTER displays a prompt to in-
crease 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.
