The display lets you know when the ramp incline or resistance levels are about to change, and
indicates the levels of the next interval. The Total Body Interval Program is available on the
EFX576i. It lets you specify the time durations for the rest and work intervals. If you prefer to set a
calorie or distance goal, use the OPTIONS key.
Total Body Interval Program
The EFX576i Total Body Interval Program available by pressing the INTERVAL key, provides an
additional aspect to the standard interval program. Each program interval prompts you to push or
pull with your arms, which incorporates upper body movement and elevates the intensity of your
workout. The program also consists of alternating forward and backward pedaling movements
that focus on working the thigh and calf muscle groups. The Total Body Interval Program is
broken into five intervals of equal length. Each interval raises and lowers your level of exertion
repeatedly for a specified period of time.
When you begin the program, the resistance for the rest and work intervals are preset at 1 and 8,
respectively. The settings are repeated throughout the program and shown in the program profile.
To change either the ramp incline or resistance settings, press the appropriate arrow key and
continue. The display lets you know when the ramp incline or resistance levels are about to
change, and indicates the levels of the next interval.
Cross Country Program
The Cross Country Program, available by pressing the VARIETY key, is designed to provide a
more realistic terrain as if you were walking in the outdoors. Review the profiles to determine the
ascent and descent levels of each program. The goal in a Cross Country Program is time, but if
you prefer a distance goal, you can press the OPTIONS key. Once you select a distance goal,
the TIME REMAINING display recalculates based on your stride rate. Anytime during a workout,
you can override the ramp incline settings by pressing the CROSSRAMP arrow keys. The
remaining profile columns change accordingly. The changes are saved and applied throughout
the remainder of the program. You can adjust the resistance by pressing the RESISTANCE arrow
keys.
Gluteal Programs
The two Gluteal Programs, available by pressing the VARIETY key, are designed to exercise the
gluteal muscles. The ramp incline is pre-programmed. Review the profiles to determine the
ascent and descent levels of each program. Anytime during a workout, you can override the ramp
incline settings by pressing the CROSSRAMP arrow keys. The remaining profile columns change
accordingly. The changes are saved and applied throughout the remainder of the program. To
change the resistance, use the RESISTANCE arrow keys.
Basic HRC Program
The Basic Heart Rate Control Program lets you set a target for your heart rate. The program
adjusts the resistance to maintain your heart rate within two beats per minute of the target heart
rate while you exercise. To use this program, you must enter your age and wear a chest strap so
your heart rate can be monitored throughout the
session.
Important: Consult your physician to determine the appropriate target heart rate for your age and
fitness level. If your physician recommends a different target heart rate than the one that appears
