As your heart rate increases or decreases from your target, (while you are in the work interval,) the treadmill will automatically make the adjustments to speed and/or grade to keep your heart rate near your selected target.

Interval Training is one of the fastest ways to increase cardiovascular fitness. The treadmill will monitor your heart rate and adjust the speed and/or grade while in the work interval. When you enter the rest interval, there will be a 50% MET reduction. Your work level will remain the same throughout the rest period to allow your heart rate to decrease. Your heart rate will be monitored during this time, but there will be no adjustment to speed or grade in the rest interval.

When you return to the work interval, your speed will return to a calculated average of the speeds and/or grades which were used in the previous work intervals. Your speed and/or grade may increase or decrease while you are in your work interval. This averaging of speed and/or grade enables you to return to a work level which will bring you near your selected target heart rate.

NOTE: If you feel that your selected target is too high or too low, you can change your

target heart rate as follows, when you are in Heart Rate Control.
