Strength
Resistance: This program has a gradual progression of speed up to 100% of maximum effort that is sustained
for 25% of workout duration. This will help build strength and muscular endurance in the lower body and
gluts. A brief cool down follows.
Incline: There is a quick climb to a moderate, sustained elevation that lasts the majority of the workout
length.
INCLINE SPEED
Interval
Resistance: This program takes you through high levels of intensity followed by recovery periods of low
intensity. This program utilizes and develops your “Fast Twitch” muscle fibers which are used when
performing tasks that are intense and short in duration. These deplete your oxygen level and spike your heart
rate, followed by periods of recovery and heart rate drop to replenish oxygen. Your cardiovascular system
gets programmed to use oxygen more efficiently.

5.2.3 HEART RATE PROGRAMS
To determine the benefit range in which you wish to train, you must first determine your Maximum Heart Rate. This
can be accomplished by using the following formula: 220 minus your age. This will give you the Maximum Heart Rate
(MHR) for someone of your age. To determine the effective heart rate range for specific goals you simply calculate a
percentage of your MHR. Your Heart rate training zone is 50% to 90% of your maximum heart rate. 60% of your MHR
is the zone that burns fat while 80% is for strengthening the cardio vascular system. This 60% to 80% is the zone to
stay in for maximum benefit.
For someone who is 40 years old their target heart rate zone is
calculated:
220 – 40 = 180 (maximum heart rate)
180 x .6 = 108 beats per minute
(60% of maximum)
180 X .8 = 144 beats per minute
(80% of maximum)
So for a 40 year old the training zone would be 108 to 144 beats
per minute.
If you enter your age during programming the console will
perform this calculation automatically. After calculating your
MHR you can decide upon which goal you would like to pursue.
