P7 — Speed Interval Program
The P7 Speed Interval Program is a forty-five-minute workout designed to help you achieve
cardiovascular conditioning while also burning a substantial number of calories. P7 uses a
technique called interval training to strengthen your heart and the rest of your cardiovascular
system. With interval training, you exercise at a high intensity for short intervals of time so that
you don't over-tax your cardiovascular system. By strengthening your heart, interval training
enables you to build a quicker recovery rate, or the amount of time it takes your heart to
recover from a period of exercise.
Speed Interval Program Profile — You set the maximum desired speed and the treadmill
scales speed changes based on that maximum. The program begins with a five-minute warm-
up followed by a four-minute high-speed interval. Then the P7 program alternates speeds
every minute from a high to a low. This creates the interval effect which helps you achieve
cardiovascular conditioning and burn calories at the same time. Each of the speed increase
and decrease intervals lasts for only one minute; one minute at the higher speed followed by
one minute at the lower speed before increasing the speed once again. The P7 program
operates at a 0% grade. If you wish to increase the intensity of your workout, but don't feel
ready to increase your speed, you can increase the incline and remain at your current speed.
Program Results — The P7 Program is an ideal way to improve your heart's capacity and
reduce your weight at the same time.
