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
The
Hill
program simulates going up and down a hill. The resistance in the pedals will steadily
increase and then decrease during the program.
WORK
Fat Burn
The
Fat Burn
program is designed, as the name implies, to maximize the burning of fat. There are
many schools of thought on the best way to burn fat but most experts agree that a lower exertion
level that stays at a steady workload is the best. The absolute best way to burn fat is to keep your
heart rate at around 60% to 70% of its maximum potential. This program does not use heart rate
but simulates a lower, steady exertion workout.
WORK
Cardio
The
Cardio
program is designed to increase your cardiovascular function and endurance. This is
exercise for your heart and lungs. It will build up your heart muscle and increase blood flow and
lung capacity. This is achieved by incorporating a higher level of exertion with slight fluctuations in
work.
WORK
Strength
The
Strength
program is designed to increase muscular strength in your lower body. This program
will steadily increase in resistance to a high level and forces you to sustain it. This is designed to
strengthen and tone your legs and glutes (muscles of the butt).
WORK
Interval
The
Interval
program takes you through high levels of intensity followed by periods of low intensity.
This program increases your endurance by depleting your oxygen level followed by periods of
recovery to replenish oxygen. Your cardiovascular system gets programmed to use oxygen more
efficiently this way. This program also forces your body to become more efficient due to spikes in
heart rate, between recovery periods. This aids in heart rate recovery from intense activities
