PROGRAMMABLE FEATURES
Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit your needs. Some of
the information asked for is necessary to ensure the readouts are correct. You will be asked for your Age and Weight.
Your Age is also necessary during the Heart Rate control program to ensure the correct settings are in the program for
your Age. Otherwise the work settings could be too high or low for you; entering your Weight aides in calculating
a more correct Calorie reading. Although we cannot provide an exact calorie count we do want to be as close as
possible.
CALORIE NOTE: Calorie readings on every piece of exercise equipment, whether it is in a gym or at home, are not
accurate and tend to vary widely. They are meant only as a guide to monitor your progress from workout to workout.
The only way to measure your calorie burn accurately is in a clinical setting connected to a host of machines. This is
because every person is different and burns calories at a different rate. Some good news is that you will continue to
burn calories at an accelerated rate for at least an hour after you have finished exercising!
ENTERING A PROGRAM & CHANGING SETTINGS
When you enter a program (by pressing the Program button to choose a program, then the Enter key to se-
lect it) you have the option of entering your own personal settings. If you want to work out without entering
new settings then just press the Start button. This will bypass the programming of data and take you directly
to the start of your workout. If you want to change the personal settings then just follow the instructions in
the
Dot Matrix Message Center
. If you start a program without changing the settings the default – or pre-
saved – settings will be used.
