Perhaps you need a good calorie burn so the weight loss routines would be chosen. The resistance is adjusted as you go to keep calorie burn to a maximum. If you’re after a fitness enhancing workout then the aerobic routines would be good for you. All the programs are designed by personal trainers to give the maximum benefits.
Along with the pre made workouts there are 2 called create and save. These are 2 workouts where you program the routine. If you want to refine your routine to focus on a particular body part or intensity then these are the ones for you. There are also 2 heart rate workouts. These adjust the resistance higher or lower to match a chosen heart rate. This is ideal for all fitness levels because you workout against your own body.
