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.
