What is FitLinxx? Let`s Begin!
W h at is FitLinxx? FitLinxx is a computer program that coaches users through their workout for better safety and form during every exercise. The computer tracks your progress over time. The benefits of the FitLinxx system don’t end once you leave the Monon Community Center. In fact, cardio that you don’t do at the gym may be added (mowing the grass, shoveling snow, walking outside). You are able to create a personalized workout and see a calculation of calories burned, as well as even more features. Work with one of our FitLinxx Attendants to learn all the ways you can use the system to help keep you on track and stay encouraged. Let’s Begin! 1. For each workout, begin your exercise session at the FitLinxx kiosk by entering your 5-digit ID Code. 2. Select “Express Start” to begin your exercise session. 3. At each strength machine, enter your 5-digit ID code to display your settings. 4. Use yellow push knobs to adjust seat and handles. Be sure to set appropriate weight. 5. As you exercise, FitLinxx will record your repetitions and sets for each machine completed. When you schedule your appointment, you will meet individually with one of our knowledgeable instructors who will guide you through the whole workout session and teach you how to get started. Your session will last approximately one hour. 6. At the end of your workout, return to the kiosk to enter your cardiovascular exercise under the heading “Manually Log CV Workout.” You may select any of our cardio equipment, exercise classes or many other cardiovascular activities. Stop by the FitLinxx desk at the MCC Fitness Center to make your appointment. There you will find a binder where you can choose the date and time for your FitLinxx appointment. Just pencil in your name and you’re ready to go! 7. Select “Finish Workout” to store all of your workout information. Questions? Contact Lindsay Willard, Fitness Supervisor at 317.573.5249 or [email protected]. FitLinxx will periodically analyze your workouts and send you messages through the kiosk. These messages are designed to help keep you motivated and progressing toward your goals. 8.
