Bowflex TC5500 Stepper Machine User Manual


 
Interval Training involves adjusting your speed for specic lengths of time to raise and lower your heart
rate and calorie burn. Interval training changes the intensity of your workout during one exercise session.
Alternating high-intensity training with low-intensity rest periods will boost your metabolism and help
you burn calories after your workout is completed.
Interval training also helps prevent the injuries frequently associated with repetitive endurance exercise, and
lets you increase your training intensity without over training or burning out. To develop a personal Interval
Training regimen, change your belt speed or rate of stepping from fast speeds to slower recovery speeds.
The Steady State workout involves doing one exercise at the same speed and intensity for a long period
of time. While there are risks to repetitive workouts, the TreadClimber
®
machine is designed to cushion
your joints and muscles from those stress injuries. Further, repetitive workouts can help you build your
endurance, stamina and strength while you continue to hone and improve the tone and lean muscle mass
in your long muscles.
