Hey I'm Ryan Simat and I'm here to tell you about Workout Boosters...an exclusive feature
on octane ellipticals. The idea of a workout Booster is to add variety
and motivation by incorporating short burst intervals during your cardio program. Octane
has three main boosters. Target the Upper body with Armblaster, be coached by a built-in
personal trainer by using xMode, or focus on the lower body muscles with Glutekicker.
Engage boosters at any time during any program for a cardio workout that has been totally
Fueled! The first Booster is a favorite. The Armblaster
increases resistance in the handlebars and really targets the arms, chest, back and core.
If you really want to maximize Armblaster, check out the optional side steps. Press the
button and follow the on-screen instructions. Every minute, you'll engage in an Armblaster
set.
The Second Booster is called X-mode. You'll wish you didn't forget your sweat towel at
home with xmode. Follow the on-screen prompts...much like coaching from a personal trainer. (Go
Faster, Pedal reverse, squat position). This is great way to ensure a complete, total-body
workout and will really help time fly.
The third booster is Glutekicker. Again, prompting different body positions and speeds will really
kick your glutes, hamstrings, and quads. Engage the core, work on your form, and glutekicker
will do exactly what it says. Kick your butt!
Now, if you have an Octane xRide Seated elliptical, your understanding of the Boosters applies
roughly the same. It still offers the on board personal trainer, but a couple differences
as well. For the upper body, the seat and foot pegs allow for complete upper body isolation.
Crank out a set using just the upper body or you can even lift your back off the seat,
and now you have an unbelievable core exercise. The lower body booster also allows for complete
isolation of the legs, for short bursts of high intensity. Increase or decrease the intensity
at any time to fit your needs.
If you thought that all seated cardio machines offered a "less than great" workout...think
again.
Now, moving on to our latest innovation...The LateralX.
Again, the personal trainer is on board prompting you in short intervals, but the other two
boosters are a bit different, because the movement is different. The Thigh toner Booster
will "automatically" adjust lateral width as you increase your speed. The machine will
also sense when you slow down to recover...and will automatically decrease the lateral width.
The other Booster is Quad Power. Along with lateral adjustments, increase your
speed and QuadPower will increase resistance.
So, those are the Octane workout Boosters. Try one or try them all. Turn them on or off
any time. Just don't blame us when your 30 minute cardio workout seemed like 15 minutes.
Stay Fueled w Octane.
