Interval

The Interval workout is primarily for conditioning your cardiovascular system. This workout is designed to raise and lower your heart rate in a repeating fashion for a user-defined period of time by alternating rest and work intervals. Workout intensity is adjustable.

Weight Loss

The workout time is fixed at 28 minutes. The workout consists of four intervals, each lasting eight minutes. You can change the resistance at any time during the work interval.

Variety

During this workout, resistance and speed vary throughout the workout in a random pattern.

Performance

Note: When a user presses PERFORMANCE, the message WORKOUT NOT AVAILABLE will scroll in the upper text display, if the console is set to HIDE PROGRAMS in the Settings menu.

The Fitness Test, available by pressing the PERFORMANCE key, provides a means of comparing your fitness level with the official fitness test of the International Association of Firefighters (IAFF). It is written using the Gerkin Protocol, which is the basis for the official IAFF fitness test and part of their Wellness and Fitness Initiative.

During the test, the equipment gradually increases the incline and speed in specific stages. The keypads are disabled. Whatever stage you are at when the test ends determines your aerobic capacity and establishes your VO2 max. Once you complete the test, a fitness score appears as part of the workout summary.
