4.1 WORKOUT OVERVIEWS

This section lists the Total Body Trainer’s pre-programmed workouts. For more detailed information,
see Section 4.2, titled Using the Workouts. The following workouts are accessible via the ARROW
keys.
QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising and bypasses the steps involved in select-
ing a specific workout program. After theQUICK START key is pressed, a constant-level work-
out begins. The intensity level does not change automatically.
MANUAL is a workout in which the intensity level does not change automatically.
RANDOM is an interval training workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in no
regular pattern or progression.
CROSS-TRAIN AEROBICS simulates the experience of working with a personal trainer. The
MESSAGE CENTER displays prompts at different times to emphasize pushing, pulling, total
body, lower body, speed changes, and forward/reverse motion. This versatile workout promotes
maximum cross-training benefits.
CROSS-TRAIN REVERSE continuously alternates five minutes of forward motion with two min-
utes of backward motion to cross-train different muscle groups.
HILL is an interval-training workout combining “hills” and “valleys” of different intensity levels,
which is proven to provide effective, time-efficient cardiovascular results.
