Preset Programs

The fitness bike has five different programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts. These five programs have factory preset work level profiles for achieving different goals.

HILL

This program follows a triangle or pyramid type of gradual progression from approximately 10% of maximum effort (the level that you chose before starting this program) up to a maximum effort which lasts for 10% of the total workout time, then a gradual regression of resistance back to approximately 10% of maximum effort.

RESISTANCE

FAT BURN

This program follows a quick progression up to the maximum resistance level (default or user input level) that is sustained for 2/3 of the workout.This program will challenge your ability to sustain your energy output for an extended period of time.

RESISTANCE

CARDIO

RESISTANCE

This program presents a quick progression up to near maximum resistance level (default or user input level). It has slight fluctuations up and down to allow your heart rate to elevate, and then recover repeatedly, before beginning a quick cool down.This will build up your heart muscle and increase blood flow and lung capacity.

STRENGTH

This program has a gradual progression of resistance up to 100% of maximum effort that is sustained for 25% of workout duration. This will help build strength and muscular endurance in the lower body and glutes. A brief cool down follows.

INTERVAL

This program takes you through high levels of intensity followed by recovery periods of low intensity.This program utilizes and develops your “Fast Twitch” muscle fibers which are used when performing tasks that are intense and short in duration. These deplete your oxygen level and spike your heart rate, followed by periods of recovery and heart rate drop to replenish oxygen.Your cardiovascular system gets programmed to use oxygen more efficiently.
