COMPUTER OPERATION P-4 Weight Loss The Weight Loss program is designed for low to medium intensity training that the user can sustain for an extended period of time. It builds from a low intensity baseline to include segments of higher incline and resistance as well as segments that use higher resistance at the base incline.
Page 28
COMPUTER OPERATION P-5 Cardio The Cardio program is designed for experienced users that desire a high intensity cardiovascular training experience. The 2-minute work interval with high resistance ensures that the aerobic energy system is completely taxed, while the subsequent 2-minute recovery interval enables a repeat at the higher work rate.
Page 29
COMPUTER OPERATION P-6 Endurance The Endurance program challenges the cardiovascular system in a manner that adjusts the overall intensity to accommodate for fatigue but maintains a similar perceived exertion throughout the workout. The core program is 16 minutes in length. After warm-up the intensity is increased over the next four minutes.
Page 30
COMPUTER OPERATION P-7 Hills The Hills program uses a 3 ½ minute core in which the incline and resistance both increase over the first 2 ½ minutes, followed by a one-minute reduction in incline and resistance. The reduced workload simulates reaching the top of the hill. The climb is then repeated.
Page 31
COMPUTER OPERATION P-8 Valleys The Valleys program provides a contrasting mix of incline and resistance. The program uses a five minute core during which the resistance is increased and the incline is reduced over the first three minutes, followed by a reduction in resistance and an increased incline until the valley repeats itself.
Page 32
COMPUTER OPERATION P-9 Ramps The Ramps program is similar to the Hills program but uses a more linear ramp of both incline and resistance from segment to segment. Ramps is comprised of a 3 ½ minute core during which the incline and resistance both increase over the first 2 ½ minutes, followed by a one-minute reduction of both incline and resistance.
Page 33

Page 34
COMPUTER OPERATION P-11 Interval 2 This program is designed for those who desire a higher intensity interval training program. It uses a fixed incline with variable resistance applied in a repeating 1:1 work to rest ratio. Each work and rest segment lasts 60 seconds. The resistance of the rest segments is approximately 55 to 65% of the work segments.
Page 35
COMPUTER OPERATION P-12 Hill Interval The Hills program is designed to give the user the experience of hiking in hilly terrain. This program uses intervals of moderate resistance and incline to simulate relatively flat areas and intervals of substantially greater incline and resistance to simulate steeper grades.
IMPORTANT STEPS Warning: Before using this product, please consult your personal physician for a complete physical examination. Frequent and strenuous exercise should be approved by your doctor first. If any discomfort should result from your use of this product, stop exercising and consult your doctor.
TARGET HEART RATE Finding your pulse: To make sure your heart is beating in its target zone, you’ll need to know how to monitor your heart rate. The easiest way is to feel the pulse in the carotid artery on the left side of your neck, in the notch between the windpipe and the large neck muscles. When you detect your pulse, use as little pressure as possible while you are counting beats.
MUSCLE CHART Targeted muscle groups: The exercise routine that is performed on this product will develop primarily lower body muscle groups. These muscle groups are shown in gray color on the chart below. MUSCLE GROUPS Deltoid muscles Gastrocnemius muscles Pectoral muscles Trapezius muscles Bicep muscle Tricep muscles...
STRETCHING ROUTINE Warm up and cool down: A successful exercise program consists of a warm-up, aerobic exercise, and a cool-down.
