PRESET PROGRAMS
The Elliptical has five different programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts.
These five programs have factory preset work level profiles for achieving different goals.
Hill
The
Hill
program simulates going up and down a hill. The resistance in the pedals will steadily
increase and then decrease during the program.
WORK INCLINE
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.
WORK INCLINE
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.
WORK INCLINE
Strength
The
Strength
program is designed to increase muscular strength in your lower body. This
program will steadily increase in resistance 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).
WORK INCLINE
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.
