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.
