Programs begin with a warm-up to ease your body into your intense workout. During the warm-up, the resistance
increases each minute. At the end of the warm-up, you will be at your selected resistance value or target heart
rate. You can change the level at any time during the warm-up.
Choose the program that best fits your workout needs for any given day. You decide how hard to work by setting
the resistance level and goal (such as time, distance, or calories). Program your workout your way!
How Does Workload Resistance (Level) Work?
Nominal
Level
Except as noted below, you select a consistent level of resistance for your workout, and
increase or decrease it whenever you choose using the Level (
) or (
) keys on the keypad.
Program
Level
The Random and Distance Goal programs let you select an overall resistance level for the
program. This level is the average resistance level for the workout. The range of resistance
levels during these workouts are plus (+) or minus (-) 4 of the entered program level. That
is, for program Level 5, minimum resistance is Level 1 and maximum resistance is Level 9.
During the workout, the overall program resistance level is displayed. You can change the
Level at any time.
Resistance
in Heart Rate
Controlled
Programs
Fat Burn and Heart Rate Interval ask you to enter the target heart rate level. If the target
HR is reached during the warm-up, the warm-up ends and the selected heart rate controlled
program begins. The resistance level during the heart rate controlled workout is controlled
by the machine, increasing or decreasing as necessary to keep your heart rate on target.
Advanced
Programs
In the advanced programs you select a Level for the ‘work’ portion of your workout. In 30:30,
you enter a “Sprint” level, and for MMA you enter a “Fight” level. The rest and recovery
intervals are set to Level 1.
What Are the CROSS CiRCUIT Programs?

intervals on the elliptical cross trainer with sets of strength and toning exercises off the machine using simple
