4.4. Adaptive training guidance
Your Suunto 5 automatically generates a 7-day training plan to help you maintain, improve, or
boost your aerobic fitness. The weekly training loads and workout intensities are dierent in
the three training programs.
Select your
fitness goal:
Select the “maintain” option if you are already fairly fit and want to maintain your current
fitness level. This option can also be useful for people just getting started with regular
exercise. Once you get going, you can always change the program you follow to a more
demanding one.
The “improve” option is targeted at improving your aerobic
fitness with a moderate progress
curve. If you want to improve your fitness more quickly, choose the “boost” program. This will
bring you harder workouts and faster results.
The training plan consist of planned excercises with a target duration and intensity. Each
exercise is planned with the goal of helping you maintain and improve your
fitness gradually
without over-stressing your body. If you miss an exercise, or do a little more than planned,
Suunto 5 automatically adapts your training plan accordingly.
When you start a planned exercise, your watch will guide you with visual and audio indicators
to help you stay at the right intensity and keep track of your progress.

exercise.
