Muscle Activation Figure
There is an anatomical gure located at the top of the console. This gure will light all areas that are ac-
tivated when using the Semi-Recumbent Stepper. These will light up during any of the programs. You can
control which muscles are activated by customizing the resistance prole during the set up phase of console
programming. If you accept the default program prole, the selected program will determine which muscles
will be activated by automatically adjusting the resistance. Generally the following
guidelines hold true:
• The lower body lights will activate in three degrees of engagement: Green represents
minimal muscle involvement, yellow represents medium involvement, and red represents
full or heavy activation.
• These are the different scenarios for lower body muscle activation:
• Levels 1-10: Green – Hamstrings & Gluteals light up; Amber –
Arm, Pec, Quadriceps & Calves light up
• Levels 11-20: Amber – Arm, Pec, Hamstrings & Gluteals light up; Red –
Quadriceps & Calves light up
Heart Rate % Profile
The console LCD screen will display your current heart rate anytime a pulse is detected. The Bar
Graph, located to the right of the LCD screen, will show your current heart rate % in relation to
your projected maximum heart rate, which is determined by your age that you entered during the
programming phase of any of the 10 programs. The signicance of the bar graph colors are as follows:
• 50-60% of maximum is Amber
• 65-80% of maximum is Amber and Green
• 85-90% or more is Amber, Green, and Red
