Cross Training Workouts
This workout delivers true training variety and muscular
engagement by adjusting the resistance and incline
continuously to simulate the dynamic terrain of an outdoor
run.
The CrossRamp setting is preprogrammed in each of these
workouts, but you can change it or the resistance setting at
any time. Your changes are applied to the levels for the
remainder of your workout, and the columns in the workout
profile show the changed CrossRamp levels.
Training tip: Advanced users can engage their core stabilizer
muscles more thoroughly by taking their hands off the
handlebars throughout the workout.
Fitness Test
Fitness tests evaluate your body's overall fitness in terms of
its aerobic capacity. During the warmup stage of the test, you
can adjust your starting resistance settings. After that, you
complete a series of stages of increasing intensity. Based on
your progress through these stages and the changes in your
heart rate as you complete them, the equipment calculates
your fitness score at the end of the test.
On treadmills, the Gerkin Fitness Test compares your fitness
level with the official fitness standards of the International
Association of Firefighters (IAFF). This test is written using
the Gerkin Protocol, which is the basis for the official IAFF
fitness test and part of their Wellness and Fitness Initiative.
