2.4.2. Training program
The program consists of six different levels: Initial level for beginners, four improvement levels
with increasing training volume and intensity, and a maintenance level designed for active endurance
sports participants. The Coach defines the starting level of your training program based on your
activity class. From the starting level, the Coach takes you toward improved performance, fully
adapting to your daily situation.

The coach recognizes when you have reached a sufficient fitness level to move to the next program
level. To ensure safe and continuous progress, there is a minimum time of four weeks for each
level. Note that even though they are closely linked to each other, the training program level is
different from your activity class. Both your activity class and program level are shown when you
enter the Coach display.
