Life Fitness Club Series - Manual (Page 33)

Each column, as seen in the WORKOUT PROFILE window and the chart above, represents one interval. The overall
duration of the workout determines the length of each interval. Each workout is made up of 20 intervals, so the duration
of each interval is equal to the duration of the entire workout divided by 20.
1 to 9 minutes: A workout with a duration of less than 10 minutes is insufficient for the Hill program to complete all four
phases adequately. The program, therefore, condenses a workout of this duration at various stages.
10 to 19 minutes: The interval durations initially are set at 30 seconds for a 10-minute workout. For every minute added
by the user “on-the-fly,” each interval increases by three seconds. A 15-minute workout consists of 20 intervals at 45 sec-
onds each.
20 to 99 minutes: All intervals last 60 seconds. If the user adds minutes to the pre-set duration while the workout is in
progress, the program adds hills and valleys that are identical to the first eight intervals of the Interval Training phase.
This pattern repeats until the workout is completed.

CASCADES, AROUND THE WORLD, FOOT HILLS, INTERVAL, KILIMANJARO, and SPEED TRAINING are variations
of the HILL workout. These workouts cannot be changed "on-the-fly."
AROUND THE WORLD is an interval-training workout in which the hills resemble scenes of various geographical areas.
CASCADES is a two-peak workout in which intensity levels gradually increase and decrease.
FOOT HILLS is a rolling hill workout with low intensity levels.
INTERVAL is a Hill workout in which intensity levels rise and fall. The higher levels gradually incline toward a peak and
then gradually decline.
KILIMANJARO is a Hill workout in which the intensity levels gradually incline toward one ultimate peak and then
gradually decline.
SPEED TRAINING is a Hill workout in which the intensity level alternates between high and low levels very quickly to
simulate a typical speed training workout.
