The HILL workout has two main phases in between the warm-up and cool down.
Plateau: Increases the incline slightly and keeps it steady, to bring the heart rate to the low end of the target
zone.
Interval Training: Is a series of increasingly steeper hills, alternating with valleys, or periods of recovery. The
heart rate should rise to the high end of the target zone during this segment.
Goal: The computerized interval training workout has been scientifically demonstrated to promote greater cardio-
respiratory improvement than steady-pace training. The goal of this workout is to improve cardiovascular endurance

requesting the user to change speed.
Goal: The goal of the FAT BURN workout is to efficiently burn fat by eliminating over-training and under-training and
