PROGRAMS - PRESET The Elliptical has multiple different programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts. These eight programs have factory preset work level profiles for achieving different goals.

Page 20
HIIT This program takes you through high levels of intensity followed by recovery periods of low intensity. This program utilizes and develops your “Fast Twitch” muscle fibers which are used when performing tasks that are intense and short in duration. These deplete your oxygen level and spike your heart rate, followed by periods of recovery and heart rate drop to replenish oxygen.

PROGRAMS Fusion In this interval program you will alternate between mid-high intensity cardiovascular intervals on the Elliptical, strength exercises off of the Elliptical, and low intensity recovery intervals on the Elliptical. You will need a pair of objects that can be comfortably held in your hands (dumbbells, water jugs, soup cans, etc.) for 4 of the 5 strength exercises performed in this program.

HEART RATE EXERTION Before we get started, a word about Heart Rate: The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of exercising comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart rate monitors. With the proper use of a heart rate monitor, many people find that their usual choice of exercise intensity was either too high or too low and exercise is much more enjoyable by maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range.
Page 26
HEART RATE - PERCEIVED EXERTION Heart rate is important but listening to your body also has a lot of advantages. 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.
