Interval Mode terminology

Interval Training: You can use interval training to help you vary the intensity level within one workout, ultimately helping you work out longer and harder.

Interval: Intervals relate your exercise to specific periods of time. For instance, you can run for ten minutes, walk for two, run for twenty minutes, and then walk for five – this would represent four training intervals.

Reps: The number of times you choose to perform an interval group. In the example above, if you choose to run the interval group three times, you will go through your series of ten, two, twenty, and five minute timings three times in sequence. This would represent 3 reps.

Warm-up:The period at the beginning of your workout that helps prepare your body for a more intensive training session.

Cool Down: The period at the end of your work out that helps your body to recover to a state of normal functioning.

Selecting an interval workout

2.Press ▼ (STOP/RESET) to choose the workout you want to set (WKOUT 1 through WKOUT 5).

Since you must reset the interval timer to select a new workout, you may need to press the STOP/RESET button more than once before you can view a new workout.
