Starting a Workout 55
Hill Climb
This workout simulates a walk, run, or ride up a long grade
and down a shorter one. It engages a wide range of muscle
groups by adjusting the resistance, CrossRamp, or both to
deliver a hill climbing experience. You can change these
settings at any time, and your changes will affect the intensity
of the rest of your workout.
Note: On the EFX, the console prompts you to pedal
backward during part of the workout.
Training tip: Incorporating hill climb workouts into your
regular cardio schedule will keep your workouts varied and
help build lower body muscle strength.
Cross Training Workouts
This workout delivers true training variety and muscular
engagement by adjusting the resistance and incline
continuously to simulate the dynamic terrain of an outdoor
run.
The CrossRamp setting is preprogrammed in each of these
workouts, but you can change it or the resistance setting at
any time. Your changes are applied to the levels for the
remainder of your workout, and the columns in the workout
profile show the changed CrossRamp levels.
Training tip: Advanced users can engage their core stabilizer
muscles more thoroughly by taking their hands off the
handlebars throughout the workout.
1-2 Interval
This workout is available through the Performance key on the
AMT only. It is the same 1-2 Interval workout that is available
through the Interval key on other equipment (refer to 1-1, 1-2,
and 1-3 Interval).
