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 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
