PROGRAMMABLE FEATURES
The have ten built-in programs: one Manual program, five preset profiles, two user defined
programs (U1 & U2) and two Heart Rate programs (HR1 & HR2).
PRESET PROGRAMS
Hill
The Hill program simulates going up and down a hill. The workload will steadily increase and then decrease
during the program.
SPEED
Fat Burn
The Fat Burn program is designed, as the name implies, to maximize the burning of fat. There are many schools
of thought on the best way to burn fat but most experts agree that a lower exertion level that stays at a steady
workload is the best. The absolute best way to burn fat is to keep your heart rate at around 60% to 70% of its
maximum potential. This program does not use heart rate but simulates a lower, steady exertion workout.
SPEED
Cardio
The Cardio program is designed to increase your cardiovascular function and endurance. This is exercise for your
heart and lungs. It will build up your heart muscle and increase blood flow and lung capacity. This is achieved by
incorporating a higher level of exertion with slight fluctuations in work.
SPEED
Strength
The Strength program is designed to increase muscular strength in your lower body. This program will steadily
increase in workload to a high level and forces you to sustain it. This is designed to strengthen and tone your legs
and glutes (muscles of the butt).
SPEED
Interval
The Interval program takes you through high levels of intensity followed by periods of low intensity. This program
increases your endurance by depleting your oxygen level followed by periods of recovery to replenish oxygen.
Your cardiovascular system gets programmed to use oxygen more efficiently this way. This program also forces
your body to become more efficient due to spikes in heart rate, between recovery periods. This aids in heart rate
recovery from intense activities.
