Octane Boosters
Your Octane Fitness Q35x offers three ‘boosters’ to add motivation and variety to your workout.
Press
on the keypad to toggle through and choose one of these great challenges:
X-Mode
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 as you pedal. 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. This
changes the muscle focus to 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 30-40 rpm to allow yourself to recover.
During an X-Mode session, the level of resistance can be changed by pressing any
(
) or (
) key on the keypad.
ArmBlaster
Press the “Boost Your Workout” button a second time to select ArmBlaster, a proprietary
program designed to boost cardiovascular endurance while building strength and
muscle tone. ArmBlaster adds upper-body strength sessions to the cardio 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 (
) key.
Tip:
If your elliptical 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.
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
. Initiate GluteKicker
sessions by pressing the “Boost Your Workout” button a third time. Each session lasts
for one minute, followed by a one-minute recovery period. During the GluteKicker
session, the level of resistance can be changed by pressing any (
) or (
) key on the
keypad or the right handlebar.
A fourth click of the “Boost Your Workout” button cancels all boosters.
