Time-based constant heart rate control: pick a target heart rate and exercise for an amount of time you select.

Distance-based constant heart rate control: set a target heart rate and one of four distances, just like you're running a road course: 2 miles, 4 miles, 5 kilometers, or 10 kilometers.

Interval heart rate training: the treadmill alternates work intervals at your selected target heart rate with rest intervals that are at Þ workload; you pick the length of both intervals.
