This workout makes the most of the Life Fitness Cross-Trainer's total body workout. While exer-
cising, the computer console prompts the user to vary the workout.
For an upper body workout that works all the muscles in the arms, the console directs the user
to push and pull the moving arms at various times. The console will also vary the workout
between total body and lower-body-only workouts, during which the user rests his or her hands
on the stationary handlebar.
To maximize lower-body workout, forward and reverse motions and speeds are alternated, work-
ing all the muscles in the legs in a variety of conditions in one exercise session.
This Cross-Trainer workout is constant resistance. However, for CT 9500HR and CT 9100, it is
also available as variable resistance by selecting the Hill, Manual or Random workout first.
Then, after starting the workout, press the Aerobics Mode key on the console.
