 A bright blue backlit LCD console offers a multitude of feedback data
Wireless heart rate (telemetric chest strap included) makes monitoring more accurate
Ratcheting seat post allows for quick adjustments
A muscle activation figure that shows which areas are being targeted
A heart rate bar graph that makes it easier to maintain your heart rate zone
Storage area for organization
An audio jack and speakers for personal entertainment

A quick press of a button and you are off on one of the unique programs. Our large, easy to read console even
features a muscle activation figure that specifies which muscle groups are minimally or maximally activated at
different levels/pedal directions and a heart rate bar graph that simplifies staying in your target zone.

Muscle Activation    It’s important to understand which muscle groups are gaining the most benefit during your workout. On our ellipticals, you will be using your glute (bottom), hamstring (back of your thigh), quad (thigh), calf, pec and arm muscles. The LED lights will activate in three degrees of engagement: Green represents minimal involvement, Amber medium involvement, and Red, full or heavy involvement. Use this quick reference to challenge yourself during your workout.	Music & Air Conditioning We have integrated into most of our consoles a set of audio speakers. Simply plug in your choice of MP3 player or cell phone (adapter cord provided) and you can enjoy your favorite music to keep you going the extra mile. We’ve also built a swivel fan into most of our consoles to keep you a little cooler.	Heart Rate % Profile Heart Rate training is proven to be one of the best ways to measure your workout. Our Heart Rate % Profile gives you a quick reference of your % compared to maximum projected heart rate. This is determined by your age, which you entered during the programming phase of any of the programs. The LED lights up in Amber for 50-60%, Green for 65% to 80%, and Red for 85%+. This is a quick reference for you to gauge your workout.

Handlebars - The Spirit XBU55 Upright Bike handlebars gives you multiple positions and conveniently placed pulse grip sensors for your workout.

Pedals - Our pedals have 2 degrees of inversion for better biomechanics and are self balancing.

• HILL
  This program follows a triangle or pyramid type of gradual progression from approximately 10% of maximum effort (the level that you chose before starting this program) up to a maximum effort which lasts for 10% of the total workout time, then a gradual regression of resistance back to approximately 10% of maximum effort.
• FAT BURN
  This program follows a quick progression up to the maximum resistance level (default or user input level) that is sustained for 2/3 of the workout. This program will challenge your ability to sustain your energy output for an extended period of time.
• CARDIO
  This program presents a quick progression up to near maximum resistance level (default or user input level). It has slight fluctuations up and down to allow your heart rate to elevate, and then recover repeatedly, before beginning a quick cool down. This will build up your heart muscle and increase blood flow and lung capacity.
• STRENGTH
  This program has a gradual progression of resistance up to 100% of maximum effort that is sustained for 25% of workout duration. This will help build strength and muscular endurance in the lower body and glutes. A brief cool down follows.
• INTERVAL
  This program takes you through high levels of intensity followed by recovery periods of low intensity. This program utilizes and develops your “Fast Twitch” muscle fibers which are used when performing tasks that are intense and short in duration. These deplete your oxygen level and spike your heart rate, followed by periods of recovery and heart rate drop to replenish oxygen. Your cardiovascular system gets programmed to use oxygen more efficiently.
• MANUAL
  The Manual program works as the name implies, manually. This means that you control the workload and not the computer.
• USER (2X)
  Two people can store personal information and design a custom program that can be saved for future use. You decide what the resistance will be for each segment of the program.
• HEART RATE (2x)
  Designed to help keep you within 3-5 heart beats of your target heart rate % by automatically increasing or decreasing the resistance level. Heart Rate 1 has a 60% (better for a fat loss goal) of projected heart rate maximum default. Heart Rate 2 has an 80% (better for a cardiovascular conditioning goal) of projected heart rate maximum default.
