Preset Programs

The elliptical has five different programs that have been designed for a variety of
workouts. These five programs have factor y preset work level profiles for achieving
different goals.
HILL
This program follows a triangle or pyramid type of
gradual progression from approximately 10% of
maximum effort (the level that you chose before starting
this program) up to a maximum effort which lasts for 10%
of the total workout time, then a gradual regression of
resistance back to approximately 10% of maximum effort.
FAT BURN
This program follows a quick progression up to the
maximum resistance level (default or user input level)
that is sustained for 2/3 of the workout. This program will
challenge your ability to sustain your energy output for an
extended period of time.
CARDIO
This program presents a quick progression up to near
maximum resistance level (default or user input level). It
has slight fluctuations up and down to allow your heart
rate to elevate, and then recover repeatedly, before
beginning a quick cool down. This will build up your hear t
muscle and increase blood flow and lung capacity.
INTERVAL
This program takes you through high levels of intensity
followed by recovery periods of low intensity. This program
utilizes and develops your "Fast Twitch" muscle fibers
which are used when performing tasks that are intense
and short in duration. These deplete your oxygen level
and spike your heart rate, followed by periods of recovery
and heart rate drop to replenish oxygen. Your
cardiovascular system gets programmed to use oxygen
more efficiently.
