Upper Exercise Arms with Multi Grip Handles Ergonomic Multi-Grip Handles that provide resistance to the upper body during a workout. Upper Exercise Arms with Revolving Handles (ES700RH) Ergonomically designed rotating handles, with upper-body only capability height adjustment, that provide resistance to the upper body during a workout.
CHAPTER 3: PRODUCT OVERVIEW ELLIPTICAL OVERVIEW TRUE Lock™ (exercise lock feature) The ES700 ellipticals include the TRUE Lock. This feature allows users to immobilize the foot pedals. By locking the exercise machine, a user can create a more stable foot pedal when entering and exiting the machine. TRUE Lock also prevents unintentional foot pedal movement when the machine is stored and not in use.
CHAPTER 4: PROGRAMMING & OPERATION HEART RATE MONITORING This elliptical can monitor a user’s heart rate using either a Polar® compatible chest strap or the metal grips on the hand rails (called contact heart rate or CHR pads). A chest strap transmits the user’s heart rate to the elliptical via radio and the CHR pads connect to a special computer circuit to extract the user’s heart rate.
CHAPTER 4: PROGRAMMING & OPERATION HEART RATE CONTROL The TRUE HRC system is unique because users must enter the key parameters of the workout prior to beginning of the HRC workout: Target Heart Rate, Weight, Age, and Time. As users approach their target heart rate, the elliptical’s computer takes full control over the workout and changes the workout intensity automatically to keep users near their target heart rate. This allows for a completely “hands free” workout.
