Workout Boosters
ArmBlaster
ArmBlaster is a proprietary program designed to boost cardiovascular endurance while
building strength and muscle tone. Press the ArmBlaster button at any time during your
workout to integrate cardio sessions with strength sessions. The cardio session follows
the program profile that you have selected. Every minute, resistance increases for a
muscle-building, 10-repetition set as you transfer the workload from your lower body to
your upper body. During the ArmBlaster rep countdown, the level of resistance can be
changed by pressing any (+) or (–) keys. To deactivate ArmBlaster, press the ArmBlaster
button a second time.
Tip: If your Q37 is equipped with the optional CROSS stationary foot platforms,
step onto the platforms during your ArmBlaster sessions for an even more intense upper-
body challenge.
X-Mode Press X-Mode to activate the ultimate cross training tool and take advantage of the
variety your elliptical cross trainer offers. This great motivational tool keeps your workout
fresh and exciting in any program. Every other minute X-Mode kicks in, prompting you to
perform combinations of eight different challenges:
Fast Pick up the pace—we recommend 50-60 rpm, but you
should find your own comfort level.
Squat Bend slightly at the knees. You’ll feel this one in your
quadriceps and glutes in no time!
Reverse Pedal backwards to change the muscle focus on your
entire lower body.
Lean Back Grab the stationary handlebars and lean slightly
backwards, changing the muscle focus on your lower
body. You will feel this in your quadriceps.
Lower Body Only Either hold the stationary handlebars or naturally swing
your arms.
Push-Arms Focus on pushing with your arms to work your chest and
triceps.
Pull-Arms
Focus on pulling with your arms to work your biceps and
lats.
Slow Slow down to 30-40rpm to allow yourself to recover.
During an X-Mode session, the level of resistance can be changed by pressing any (+)
or (–) keys on the keypad or the right handlebar. Deactivate X-Mode by pressing the
button a second time.
GluteKicker GluteKicker is an aggressive subset of X-Mode that is focused on your glutes, hips, and
thighs. It uses four prompts:
Reverse , Squat , Fast, and Lean Back . GluteKicker sessions
last for one minute, with a one-minute recovery period. During the GluteKicker session,
the level of resistance can be changed by pressing any (+) or (–) keys on the keypad or
the right handlebar. Deactivate GluteKicker by pressing the button a second time.
