RX7

3.4.3

Interval distance & interval time programs

Both programs are designed for interval training – intensive training intervals alternate with short

intervals of rest. It is scientifically proved that interval training burns more calories than classic cardio

training. Due to an increased intensity, you should always make sure that you do not stress your

body too much. Do not exceed the calculated maximum heart rate (220 – age).

INTERVAL DISTANCE PROGRAM = a training distance combined with short intervals of rest
