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.

You must use both left and right stainless steel sensors to pick up your pulse. Pulse values are displayed anytime the computer is receiving a Grip Pulse signal. You may use the Grip Pulse feature while in Heart Rate Control. The CRS800S will also pick up wireless heart rate transmitters that are Polar compatible, including coded transmissions.
PROGRAMMABLE FEATURES Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit your needs. Some of the information asked for is necessary to ensure the readouts are correct. You will be asked for your Age and Weight. Your Age is also necessary during the Heart Rate control program to ensure the correct settings are in the program for your Age.

PRESET PROGRAMS The Semi-Recumbent stepper has seven different programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts. These five programs have factory 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 Hill...
Page 26
STRENGTH This program has a gradual progression of resistance up to 100% of maximum effort that is sustained for 25% of Fat Bu Stren workout duration. This will help build strength and muscular endurance in the lower body and glutes. A brief cool down follows.
Page 27
CUSTOM USER DEFINED PROGRAMS There are two customizable User programs that allow you to build and save your own workout. The two programs, Custom 1 and Custom 2, operate exactly the same way so there is no reason to describe them separately.

220 – 40 = 180 (maximum heart rate) 180 x .6 = 108 beats per minute (60% of maximum) 180 X .85 = 153 beats per minute (85% of maximum) So for a 40 year old the training zone would be 108 to 153 beats per minute.
HEART RATE PROGRAM OPERATION To start the HR program follow the instructions below. 1. Using the Program button choose the HR program (65% or 80%) then press the Enter key. 2. The Dot Matrix Message Center will ask you to enter your Age. You may enter your Age, using the Up/Down keys, then press the Enter key to accept the new number and proceed on to the next screen.

There are more variables involved in how hard you should workout than just heart rate. Your stress level, physical health, emotional health, temperature, humidity, the time of day, the last time you ate and what you ate, all contribute to the intensity at which you should workout. The rate of perceived exertion (RPE), also know as the Borg scale, was developed by Swedish physiologist G.A.V.

WEARING THE CHEST STRAP (SOLD SEPARTELY) 1. Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the interlocking button. 2. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible while ensuring it is still comfortable. 3.
