Each program has a header that describes the basic components of the program.
The following is an example header from the Navy workout.
<Name>Navy PFA</Name>

Physical Readiness Test. Minimum passing time is 14
minutes. Treadmill will begin at 4.3 mph pace and 1% in-
cline. Adjust to your maximum comfortable speed to com-
plete the challenge.</Description>

<Category>User</Category> This can be anything you want and it
will create a new category. Our recommendation is to enter
“User” into this field as this will display best on the con-
sole.

By default, there is a 3-minute warm up and cooldown added to every workout. The
flags tag is used if you want to add a warm up and cooldown manually. If you are
using your own warm up and cooldowns the Flags tag should be as follows:
<Flags> NoWarmup,NoCooldown <Flags>
The NoSkip flag is used if you never want to be able to skip a phase of the workout.
Unless your workout is 100% static we would not recommend using the NoSkip
flag.
