CONSOLE
MUSCLE ACTIVATION FIGURE
There is an anatomical gure located at the top of the console. This gure will light
all areas that are activated when using the elliptical trainer. These will light up during
any of the programs. You can control which muscles are activated by changing up
the pedal pattern or switching your hand position during the manual program.
Generally the following guidelines hold true:
The upper body lights will activate when you are either holding onto the swing arms or at anytime
yours hands aren’t holding onto the pulse grip sensors
The lower body lights will activate in three degrees of engagement: Green
represents minimal muscle involvement, Amber represents medium involvement, and Red
represents full or heavy activation.
These are the different scenarios for lower body muscle activation
Forward pedal rotation
Gluteals & Quadriceps are Amber;
Hamstrings & Calves are Green
Reverse pedal rotation
Incline: Calves, Hamstrings, and Quadriceps
are Amber; Gluteals are Green
