Interval: Intervals relate your exercise to specific periods of time.
For instance, you can run for ten minutes, walk for two, run for
twenty minutes, and then walk for five – this would represent four
training intervals.
Reps: The number of times you choose to perform an interval
group. In the example above, if you choose to run the interval group
three times, you will go through your series of ten, two, twenty, and
five minute timings three times in sequence. This would represent 3
reps.
Warm-up: The period at the beginning of your workout that helps
prepare your body for a more intensive training session.
Cool Down: The period at the end of your work out that helps
your body to recover to a state of normal functioning.
Selecting an interval workout
You can use the Watch to set and store up to five workouts labeled
WKOUT 1 though WKOUT 5.
1. Press MODE until Interval Mode appears.
2. Press (STOP/RESET) to choose the workout you want to set
(WKOUT 1 through WKOUT 5).
Since you must reset the interval timer to select a new workout,
you may need to press the STOP/RESET button more than once
before you can view a new workout.
Interval Timer Mode
Interval Timer Mode offers a flexible six-interval countdown timer,
and can retain settings for up to five different training sessions. It
includes warm up and cool down intervals and four training
intervals for each training session. You can set the group of four
training intervals to repeat up to 99 times. You can set the warm-
up interval to run one time at the beginning of your training
session and the cool down interval to run one time at the end of
your training session.
Interval Mode terminology
Interval Training: You can use interval training to help you vary
the intensity level within one workout, ultimately helping you work
out longer and harder.
