Train with Watts on the HiTrainer ATP+ Treadmill

HiTrainer ATP + Self Powered Treadmill Feature

 

Watts is a measurement of your power or output - which is

why watts training is often referred to as “training with

power.” In scientific terms, a watt is equal to one “joule” per

second – with a “joule” being the derived unit needed to

accelerate a mass of one kilogram over a distance of one

meter. Watts is your power to overcome inertia and make

things go – to pedal your bike, climb a set of stairs, or run

on a treadmill. Every HiTrainer shows you your watts output

and lets you effectively train with power.

 

As a measurement of performance output, what is important

about watts is the fact that watts are objective – they are not

affected by other conditions like heat, which might impact

your body if you were running outdoors. The capability of

observing your watts gives you immediate and quantifiable

feedback on the intensity of your workout.

 

When concentrating on watts you stay motivated to maintain

your target workload during hard efforts. This type of

training will build your endurance, increase your speed,

make you stronger, and overall, simply improve your

physical performance.

 

Watts can also help you pace your efforts. Instead of

training too hard and becoming fatigued, you can monitor

your watts input to stay within your target zone and

complete a workout knowing you are exercising at your

personal best.

 

If losing weight is one of your goals, a watts based training

program can also help you be successful. When you

monitor and record watts, you get the most accurate

measurement of calories burned during your workout. You

can use this information to help plan your caloric input to

loose, maintain, or gain muscle weight depending on your

personal goals.
