A message about Calories
:
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 about the same rate as during
exercise for 20-30 minutes after you have finished exercising!
Entering/Changing Settings
When you enter a program (by pressing a program key, then enter key) you have the option of entering your own personal
settings. If you want to workout without entering new settings then just press the Start key. 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 message window. If you start a program without changing the settings the default - or pre-saved – settings
will be used.
The default computer settings are: Age = 35, Weight = 155 Lbs., Time = 30:00, Max Level: each program has a different
maximum work level: Hill = 5, Fatburn = 5, Cardio = 7, Strength =7, Interval =6.
NOTE: Changing Age and Weight settings will also change these settings in all other programs except the User 1&2 programs.
The last Age and Weight entered will be saved as the new default settings. If you enter your Age and Weight the first time you
use the Elliptical you will not have to enter it every time you work out unless either your Age or Weight changes or someone
else enters a different Age and Weight.
Manual
The Manual program works as the name implies, manually. This means that you control the workload yourself and not the
computer. To start the Manual program follow the instructions below or just press the Manual button then the Enter button and
follow the directions in the message window.

Manual
key then press the
Enter

Age
. You may enter your Age, using the Up and Down keys or the
numeric key pad, then press the Enter key to accept the new number and proceed on to the next screen.

Preset Programs
The Elliptical has five different programs that have been designed for a variety of workout goals. These five programs have
factory preset profiles for achieving these different goals. The initial built-in level of difficulty for each program is set to a
relatively easy level. You may adjust the level of difficulty (Max level) for each program before beginning by following the
instructions in the message window after selecting your program.
