ARDIO

The Cardio workout is virtually identical to the Fat Burn workout except for a higher target heart rate, (80% of the theoretical maximum
heart rate

†

), which places a heavier workload on the heart muscle to promote cardiovascular improvement. To add variety and extend

the focus of exercise benefits, switch between the Fat Burn and Cardio programs during your workout.

These workouts combine both the standard Hill Workout with the
Fat Burn and Cardio workouts. After you enter your age a
recommended workout heart rate is calculated for you. If you want
to change the value before you begin your workout, use the Arrow
Keys. To accept it, use the Enter Key. This value then becomes the
upper value of your workout zone. The lower values of this zone are
automatically calculated based on which program you selected.
During the workout, your Heart Rate Zone is tracked to see how
long you “stay in your zone”. 

HEART RATE HILL

takes you through 3 progressively intense

workout levels based on your target heart rate. Climbing Hill #1, you
are challenged to reach the first heart rate goal of 90%. If this goal
is met, a new goal of 95% THR is set for Hill #2. Meet this goal and
you move on to Hill #3 which is your full target heart rate. In between
hills, you can “rest” in the valley at 85% of your THR.

The time, or duration you spend at each given heart rate goal is fixed at 1 minute once you reach your goal. However, if you don’t
reach the given goal, you won’t encounter any higher goals. Your fitness level determines the number of hills and valleys you
encounter. Depending the time you set, plus how fast and how high you climb, your workout can end during any Target Heart Rate
period.

HEART RATE INTERVAL

workout leads you through 2 intensity

levels based on your target heart rate. The set duration of the hills
and valleys is 3 minutes each – after you reach your current goal.
Therefore, your fitness level determines the number of hills and
valleys you encounter. 

Once time is up, you go into Cool-Down mode automatically.
