5. Cardio Workout (Experienced – Fit)
*Chest strap must be worn to execute the workout
Access: This workout can be started by using the Heart Rate Training WORKOUTS button to scroll to
the Cardio workout profile and pressing Enter.
Description: The user must wear a chest strap for this workout to adequately operate. This program
only uses incline adjustments to increase and decrease heart rate. Cardio maintains the user at 80% of
the user’s theoretical maximum heart rate. The console continuously monitors and displays the heart
rate, adjusting the intensity level of the product to reach and maintain the target heart rate range. The
intensity will not change as long as the user is between 72%-85% of their target heart rate.
Goal: The goal of the Cardio workout is to place a heavier workload on the heart muscle to
emphasize cardiovascular endurance.
6. Heart Rate Hill Workout (Experienced – Fit)
*Chest strap must be worn to execute the workout.
Access: This workout can be started by using the Heart Rate Training WORKOUTS button to scroll to
the Heart Rate Hill workout profile and pressing Enter.
Description: The user must wear a chest strap for this workout to adequately operate. This program
only uses incline adjustments to increase and decrease heart rate. Heart Rate Hill has a series of three
hills and three valleys where the duration of the hills and valleys is determined by the user’s heart
rate. After the warm-up, the intensity of the workout increases until the user reaches 70% of their max
heart rate, which is the first hill. Once the user reaches 70% of their max heart rate, the program will
hold the intensity level for one minute. When the hill is completed, the program reduces the intensity
and target heart rate goal to 65% of their max heart rate to simulate a valley or recovery period. Once
the user’s heart rate drops to 65% of their max heart rate, the program will keep them at 65% for one
minute. Next the program will increase intensity until the user reaches 75% of their maximum heart
rate, this is the second hill followed by a valley with the target heart rate of 65%. Finally the third
hill increases intensity until the user reaches 80% of their max heart rate, 80% is then held for one
minute followed by the final 65% valley. At the end of the duration of hills and valleys, the workout
enters a cool down phase. Note that if the user does not reach a heart rate goal after five minutes, the
message center displays a prompt to increase or decrease speed depending on whether the workout
is in a hill or valley phase. The program does not proceed to a new heart rate goal until the user
reaches the current goal.
Goal: The design intent of the Heart Rate Hill workout was to develop a program that adapts to the
user’s fitness level. As a user becomes more fit, they encounter additional hills and valleys in the same
workout duration. This is because the heart rate is recovering more quickly during valleys.
