As your heart rate increases or decreases from
your target, (while you are in the work interval,) the
treadmill will automatically make the adjustments to
speed and/or grade to keep your heart rate near
your selected target.

Interval Training is one of the fastest ways to
increase cardiovascular fitness.  The treadmill will
monitor your heart rate and adjust the speed
and/or grade while in the work interval.  When you

reduction.  Your work level will remain the same
throughout the rest period to allow your heart rate
to decrease.  Your heart rate will be monitored 
during this time, but there will be no adjustment to
speed or grade in the rest interval.

When you return to the work interval, your speed
will return to a calculated average of the speeds
and/or grades which were used in the previous
work intervals.  Your speed and/or grade may
increase or decrease while you are in your work
interval.  This averaging of speed and/or grade
enables you to return to a work level which will
bring you near your selected target heart rate.
