USER-PROGRAMMED INTERVAL WORKOUTS SETS
You can make your own, customized “USER” interval workout sets, using ISAAC. Consult
the ISAAC software instructions to learn how to create customized interval workout sets,
and how to load workouts into your Newton.
After loading your workout into your Newton (see ISAAC instructions for details), enter Fit
Train and select “USER” as your workout choice. Click the center button to begin; your
user-customized workout will be loaded.
Below is an example of a user-customized workout, created in the ISAAC software. In this
example interval set there are five intervals: the first interval is 150W for 4 minutes,
followed by 5 minutes of rest, followed by a second interval of 200W for 3 minutes, with a
5 minute rest thereafter, and a third interval of 250W for 2 minutes, followed by a 5 minute
rest period, a fourth interval of 200W for 3 minutes with a 5 minute rest, and a final 150W
interval for 4 minutes with a final 10 minute rest/cool-down.
