Fusion Program
In this interval program, you will alternate between mid-high intensity cardiovascular intervals on the
elliptical trainer, strength exercises off of the elliptical trainer, and low-intensity recovery intervals on
the elliptical trainer. You will need a pair of objects that can be comfortably held in your hands
(dumbbells, water jugs, soup cans, etc.) for 4 of the 5 strength exercises performed in this program
1. Press the
Fusion
key. Press
Enter
to select the program. The display will prompt you through
the programming.
2. If Enter was pressed, the Message center will now be blinking a value, indicating your Age
(default is 35). Entering your correct age affects the heart rate Bar Graph Display and the Heart
Rate programs. Use the
Level Up/Down keys
to adjust, then press
Enter
. Your age
determines your recommended maximum heart rate. Since the Bar Graph Display and the
Heart Rate features are based on a percentage of your maximum heart rate, it is important to
enter the correct age for these features to work properly.
3. The Message Center will now be blinking a value, indicating your Body Weight (default is 150
lbs). Entering the correct bodyweight will affect the calorie count. Use the
Level Up/Down keys
to adjust, then press
Enter
.
A note about the Calorie display
: No exercise machine can give you an exact calorie count
because there are too many factors that determine exact calorie burn for a particular person.
Even if someone is the exact same bodyweight, age and height, their calorie burn may be very
different than yours. The Calorie display is to be used as a reference only to monitor
improvement from workout to workout. The calorie count displayed in this program won’t be
accurate because the machine can’t calculate calories expended while strength training.
4. The Message Center will now be blinking the preset top Resistance level of the selected
program (default/minimum resistance is Level 5). Use the
Level Up/Down keys
to adjust, then
press
Enter
. This value will be the Level for all cardio intervals. The resistance level can be
adjusted at any time during the program.
5. The Message Center will be blinking the number of intervals desired (default is 10); you may
select 10 (5 cardio & 5 strength), 20 (10 cardio & 10 strength), or 30 (15 cardio & 15 strength).
Use the
Level Up/Down keys
to adjust, then press
Enter
.
6. The Message Center will be blinking the desired Interval time (default is 2:00). The time you
select will be the duration of each cardio interval.
Note:
As a general rule, the longer the interval, the less resistance (elliptical trainer) is required
and the more repetitions you perform, the less weight (dumbbells) you need to use; use the
Level Up/Down keys
to adjust, then press
Enter
.
7. The Message Center will be blinking the recovery time you desire (default is 0:30) after
completing both the cardio &strength intervals. Use the
Level Up/Down keys
to adjust, then
press
Enter
.
CAUTION:
The shorter the recovery time, the longer your heart rate will stay elevated; if you are
new to exercise or have recently resumed an exercise program after a considerable amount of time
off, it is recommended that your recovery interval length either matches or exceeds the length of the
cardio interval.
