Weight Loss Programs
The Weight Loss Programs, available by pressing the
WEIGHT LOSS key, provide a variety of programs targeted
at lowering body fat while improving muscle tone and
conditioning.
Anytime during your exercise session you can use the
CROSSRAMP or RESISTANCE arrow keys to override
upcoming segments.
The following chart briefly explains the purpose of each program.
WEIGHT LOSS
Program Description
Fat Burner This program has been designed by Dr. Emily Cooper
of Seattle Performance Medicine
(www.spmedicine.com) to improve fat-burning results
and increase endurance every time you exercise. The
program incorporates warm-up and cool-down
periods and allows you to select a program time
between 30 and 90 minutes. Work and rest intervals
appear along with recommended stride rates. The
faster pace stride rates, combined with fairly low
resistance levels provides optimal oxygenation to the
working muscles. The display prompts you when you
need to make changes in your stride rate. To monitor
your heart rate during the program, use the touch-
sensitive handrail grips or wear a chest strap. Refer to
Heart Rate Features.
Calorie
Goal Attain your designated calorie expenditure as you
promote aerobic activity and improve your
cardiovascular conditioning. When you select this
program, specify your calorie goal at the blinking
calorie prompt. Acceptable entries range from 1 to
5000 calories. Use the navigational arrow keys or
number keys to change the value, and then press OK
to begin.
Weight
Loss
