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 Semi-Recumbent Stepper. 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 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 1-10: Green – Hamstrings & Gluteals light up;
Amber – Arm,Pec, Quadriceps & Calves light up
 Levels 11-20: Amber – Arm, Pec, Hamstrings & Gluteals
light up; Red – Quadriceps & Calves light up
HEART RATE % PROFILE
The console LCD screen will display your current heart rate anytime when 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
QUICK START
This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers
up you just press the START key to begin, this will initiate the Quick
Start mode. In Quick Start the Time will count up from zero and the
workload may be adjusted manually by pressing the LEVEL UP/
DOWN keys. The dot matrix display will have only the bottom row
lit at first. As you increase the work load more rows will light
indicating a harder workout. The Semi-Recumbent Stepper will
get harder to pedal as the rows increase.
There are 20 levels of resistance available for plenty of variety. The first 5 levels are very easy
workloads and the changes between levels are set to a good progression for de-conditioned users.
Levels 6-10 are more challenging, but the increases in resistance from one level to the next remain
small. Levels 11- 15 start getting tough as the levels jump more dramatically. Levels 16-20 are
extremely difficult and are good for short interval peaks and elite athletic training.
