MUSCLE ACTIVATION FIGURE
There is an anatomical figure located at the top of the console. This figure will light all areas that are
activated when using the elliptical trainer. These will light up during any of the programs. You can
control which muscles are activated by customizing the resistance profile during the set up phase of
console programming. If you accept the default program profile, the selected program will determine
which muscles will be activated by automatically adjusting the resistance. Generally the following
guidelines hold true:
The upper body LED's will not light
• The lower body lights will activate in three degrees of engagement:
Green represents minimal muscle involvement, yellow represents
medium involvement, and red represents full or heavy activation.
• These are the different scenarios for lower body muscle activation:
• Levels 1-20: Green – Hamstrings & Gluteals light up; Yellow –
Quadriceps & Calves light up
• Levels 21-40:Yellow – Hamstrings & Gluteals light up; Red –
Quadriceps & Calves light up
Heart Rate % Profile
The console LCD screen will display your current heart rate anytime a
pulse is detected. The Bar Graph, located to the right of the LCD screen, will
show your current heart rate % in relation to your projected maximum heart
rate, which is determined by your age that you entered during the
programming phase of any of the 10 programs. The significance of the bar
graph colors are as follows:
• 50-60% of maximum is Amber
• 65-80% of maximum is Amber and Green
• 85-90% or more is Amber, Green, and Red
