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 dura-
tion 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 seconds 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.

The Life Fitness patented HILL PLUS workouts give even more ways to vary interval training.
Based on the same principles as the HILL workout, Hill Plus workouts are customized to resem-
ble different locations/training scenarios to add variety and challenge to Hill workouts.
