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 HEARTSYNC
WORKOUTS button to scroll to the HEART RATE HILL workout pro le
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 rst 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
nal 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 ve 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 tness
level. As a user becomes more t, they encounter additional hills and valleys in the same workout duration. This is be-
cause the heart rate is recovering more quickly during valleys.
