Constant Resistance Level with Warm-Up and Cool Down
The starting segment (1, warm-up) and ending segment (3, cool down) are set at 25% of selected
peak resistance level or the minimum resistance for the first three segments produced in the
resistance bar, whichever is greater. The middle segment (2, work) is set at the peak resistance
level selected by the user.
• Includes a warm-up and cool down period
• Appropriate for general aerobic endurance
• Exercise at lower work rates for longer period of time if de-conditioned or weight loss
is the goal
• Minimum peak effort level: 2
• Minimum initial warm-up: 1
Aerobic Interval Training
The starting segment (1, warm-up) and ending segment (8, cool down) are set at 45% of selected
peak resistance level or the minimum resistance for the first three segments produced in the
resistance bar, whichever is greater (1,8). Low level segments, (2,4,6) are set at 65% of selected
peak resistance. High level segments, (3,5,7) are the selected peak resistance level.
• Warm-up followed by three intervals of high resistance, then low resistance
• Low intervals are 65% of high resistance level
• For improving aerobic capability or if extremity circulation problems are experienced
• Exercise at upper end of target zone to a moderate level of fatigue at each interval
• Minimum peak effort level: 5
