Owner’s Manual: Programs 44
While exercising, you can vary your strides per minute and
change the preset ramp incline and resistance settings using
the CROSSRAMP or RESISTANCE arrow keys. The
settings are repeated throughout the remainder of the
program. When you complete the program the CrossRamp
and resistance settings return to their standard defaults. No
settings, established during your exercise session, are
saved.
Aerobic Endurance Program
The Aerobic Endurance Program can be accessed by
pressing the VARIETY key. The 30 to 60 minute program
has been designed by Dr. Emily Cooper of Seattle
Performance Medicine (www.spmedicine.com) to enhance
muscular and aerobic endurance. It has a warmup period
followed by gradually increasing CrossRamp inclines and
resistance.
During the warmup period, the display prompts you to
maintain a specific stride rate which increases muscle
flexibility and raises your heart rate. When the program
begins, maintain the recommended stride rate of 140 strides
per minute to improve cardiopulmonary conditioning and
muscular endurance. The ramp incline varies throughout the
program every three minutes. When you complete the
program, a 3-minute, cool-down period begins.
The CrossRamp and resistance are preset based on your
body weight and the recommended strides per minute, but
you have the option to adjust either one during the program
using the arrow keys. If you make adjustments, you may
change the effectiveness of the program.
