workout, designed to motivate you to achieve a more challenging steady pace
and maintain that pace for the full duration of the workout. Cardio Run is a great
workout if you are training for a special event.
Short Interval 2
(20 minute default)
Short interval workouts have been found in research studies to be ideal for those
striving to lose weight and improve cardiovascular fitness. Varying exercise
intensity from a moderately slow level
to a high intensity for a set period of
time and repeating that progression
for a complete workout will maximize
the number of calories burned. The short interval recovery periods allows the
body to more successfully exercise at a higher intensity than might otherwise be
comfortable for a complete workout duration.
Uphill Walk
(30 minute default)
The uphill walk gradually increases
the intensity of your exercise peaking
at a high intensity. The goal of
the uphill workout is to stimulate
your body to improve overall
cardiovascular fitness, while also
maximizing muscle cell development. The uphill walk has been designed to start
slow and gradually increase to a peak intensity then with a quick decrease back
to a recovery level. You will maximize calorie burn during the peak intensity levels
while allowing your body to exercise for longer periods.
Custom User Programs
There are two user programs that provide you with the ability to build custom
program profiles for your specific workout requirements. In custom user
programs you set the workout time and then for each of the 20 program
segments you set the speed and incline. This program is different than our preset
programs in that both speed and incline can be controlled simultaneously. As
such, the program matrix display readout will show both incline and speed at the
same time. The speed and incline are represented in different colors so they are
easy to see.
