CARDIO is a higher intensity workout for more fit users, emphasizing cardiovascular benefits and maximum fat burning.
The user must grasp the hand pulse sensors or wear a wireless heart rate chest strap. The workout program
automatically adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the user’s heart rate at 80 percent
of the theoretical maximum.
HEART RATE HILL consists of three hills that target three heart rate goals: The first hill brings the heart rate to 90 percent of
the target rate. The second hill increases the rate to 95 percent. The third hill matches the target heart rate. The valley always
is defined as 85 percent of the target heart rate. The user must grasp the hand pulse sensors or wear a wireless heart rate
chest strap.
HEART RATE INTERVAL alternates between a hill, which brings the heart rate up to 100 percent of the target rate, and
a valley, which brings the heart rate down to 90 percent of the target heart rate. The user must grasp the hand pulse sensors
or wear a wireless chest strap.
EXTREME HEART RATE alternates between two target heart rate goals as quickly as possible. The effect is similar to that
of running sprints. The user must grasp the hand pulse sensors or wear a wireless heart rate chest strap.
MY WORKOUTS is not a workout program but a feature that allows the user to pre-set up to four workouts with personal
setup information, such as age, time duration, or level, and then store the workouts in the console memory. These workouts
are accessed with an ARROW key. See Section 5.4, titled My Workouts Personal Programs, for information on setting up
and using these workouts.
TOTAL BODY TRAINER This workout makes the most of the Life Fitness Cross-Trainer's total body workout capabilities
by leading the user through a varied workout that exercises all the major muscle groups. For an upper-body workout that
works all the muscles in the arms, the console directs the user to push and pull the handlebar arms at various times.
The console will also vary the workout between total body and lower-body-only workouts, during which the user rests his
or her hands on the stationary handlebar. To maximize a lower-body workout, forward and reverse motions and speeds
are alternated, working all the muscles in the legs during a single exercise session.
NOTE: This Cross-Trainer workout is a single resistance program. However, it can be made into a variable resistance workout
by first selecting the Hill, Manual, or Random program, and then pressing the Reverse Mode key on the
console after starting the workout.
