The workout consists of one hill. The user determines the height of the peak of this hill by selecting an intensity level during the setup. The higher the level selected, the higher the intensity at the entry point, which is the beginning of the workout, and the higher the intensity at the peak, which occurs after 75 percent of the workout is completed.
After the peak is reached, the resistance gradually returns to the same intensity level as the entry point. See the chart.
TOTAL BODY
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.
LOWER BODY
LOWER BODY TRAINER To vary the Cross-Trainer exercise and maximize the lower-body workout, the Lower Body workout directs the user to use a forward motion for five minutes followed by backward motion for two minutes. By making the most of the Life Fitness Cross-Trainer's forward and reverse feature, this program provides an effective workout for the thighs, calves, hips and buttocks.
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 Lower Body Trainer key on the
console after starting the workout.
