How To Use: Advanced Workouts Console
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 1 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 (for treadmills) or resistance (for bikes and cross trainers),
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.
