ArmBlaster
ArmBlaster is a proprietary program designed to boost cardiovascular endurance while
building strength and muscle tone. Press the ArmBlaster button at any time during your
workout to integrate cardio sessions with strength sessions. The cardio session follows the
program profile that you have selected. Every minute, resistance increases 10 levels from
where you are currently working (or to the maximum resistance of 30) for a muscle-building,
10-repetition set as you transfer the workload from your lower body to your upper body.
During the ArmBlaster rep countdown, the level of resistance can be changed by pressing
the Up Arrow (
) or Down Arrow (
) keys. To deactivate ArmBlaster, simply press the
ArmBlaster button a second time.
X-Mode
Press X-Mode to activate the ultimate cross training tool and take advantage of the variety
your elliptical cross trainer offers. This great motivational tool keeps your workout fresh
and exciting in any program. Every other minute xMode kicks in, prompting you to perform
combinations of eight different challenges:
Fast
Pick up the pace—we recommend 50-60 rpm, but
you should find your own comfort level.
Squat
Bend slightly at the knees. You’ll feel this one in
your quadriceps and glutes in no time!
Reverse
Pedal backwards to change the muscle focus on
your entire lower body.
Lean Back
Grab the stationary handlebars and lean slightly
backwards, changing the muscle focus on your
lower body. You will feel this in your quadriceps.
Lower Body Only
Either hold the stationary handlebars or naturally
swing your arms.
Push-Arms
Focus on pushing with your arms to work your chest
and triceps.
Pull-Arms
Focus on pulling with your arms to work your biceps
and lats.
Slow
Slow down to allow yourself to recover. We
recommend 30-40 rpm.
During an X-Mode session, the level of resistance can be changed by pressing the Up Arrow
(
) or Down Arrow (
) keys on the keypad or the right handlebar. Deactivate X-Mode by
pressing the button a second time.
GluteKicker
GluteKicker is an aggressive subset of X-Mode that is focused on your glutes, hips, and
thighs. It uses four prompts:
Reverse
,
Squat
,
Fast,
and
Lean Back
. GluteKicker sessions
last for one minute, with a one-minute recovery period. During the GluteKicker session,
the level of resistance can be changed by pressing the Up Arrow (
) or Down Arrow (
)
keys on the keypad or the right handlebar. Deactivate GluteKicker by pressing the button a
second time.
