MUSCLE ACTIVATION FIGURE There is an anatomical figure located at the top of the console. This figure will light all areas that are activated when using the treadmill. These will light up during any of the programs. You can control which muscles are activated by changing the incline and swinging your arms. The pre-set programs will determine which lower body muscles will be activated by automatically adjusting the incline.
Heart Rate Programs 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.
Rate of 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.
