Strength and Cardio in one machine???

One of the most commonly asked questions by customers in our stores is, “Do you have a machine that will do both strength training and cardio but not take up my entire living room?” With the introduction of the Octane Fitness x-Ride, I can proudly answer “YES”!!!

The xR-6 offers a unique elliptical range of motion from a seated position. What this creates is an ability to isolate upper or lower body, along with a strong resistance system that gives the user the ability to optimize their time spent working out.

My favorite type of training is interval training. Interval training is defined as short bursts of intense workout followed by a short recovery period, then repeat. When I am on the x-Ride, I like to do this using the manual program along with the “leg press” and “chest press” workout boosters. It is easy to set up, and it automatically prompts you with what to do next.

Octane Fitness x-R6

I start off at level 5 on manual using legs and arms. Not that tough, but it gets the blood pumping. After a couple minutes of warmup, I hit the “leg press” booster and this is when the magic happens! The resistance increases by 10 levels (now at 15) and I move my hands from the multi-grip handles to the seat handles in order to isolate the legs and maximize my leverage. The console counts down my reps from 15-1 and when the set is complete, the resistance goes back to 5 and I resume total body at the recovery rate for 1 minute until the next set comes up.

After 4 sets of leg press, my blood is pumping and my heart rate is really moving. Now its time to get the upper body going. I switch to the chest press booster. The chest press is similar to leg press, with the following differences: I simply move my feet onto the foot pegs, isolating my upper body, and it counts down 10 reps instead of 15. I also mentally use the chest press motion as two different exercises. The first two sets, I do focusing on the chest press motion (the push motion one arm at a time). The second two sets I focus on the upper back and biceps (the pull motion one arm at a time).

After a short total body cool down at level 5, I have completed a total body strength and cardio workout in only 20 minutes and man do I feel good!

The best part about the booster programs is you have the ability to customize them to your specific fitness level. You can adjust the recovery time from 30 seconds to 10 minutes (I use 1:00), you can adjust the reps from 5-99 (I use 15 for leg press and 10 for chest press), and you can adjust the level increase from 1-19 (I use 10).

If you have not gotten fueled by the x-Ride yet, come by the store and give one a try. Come dressed to workout, because I can guarantee you will getting in the best workout you have had in a long time!
