Interval Program
The Interval Programs, available by pressing the INTERVAL key, are
among the best for conditioning your cardiovascular system. Each
program raises and lowers your level of exertion repeatedly for the
specified period of time.
Three programs let you choose the rest and work intervals
according to your training regimen.
Note:
Only the first program is available on the 946i treadmill.

Initially, the rest interval is set to 0% grade and 1 mph or 1 kph. The
work interval is set at a 3% grade and the speed remains at 1 mph

While exercising, you can vary the speed and change the preset
incline using the INCLINE or SPEED keys. The settings are

about to change, and indicates the levels of the next interval.

specify the time durations for the rest and work intervals.
