Programming The Console
Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit
your needs. Some of the information asked for during programming is necessary to ensure
the readouts are correct. You will be asked for your age and weight. Entering your age is
necessary during the Heart Rate Program to ensure the correct settings are entered in the
program. 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.
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.
Entering a Program/Changing Settings
Press the program keys to scroll through the program selections. The profile for each
program will be displayed in the dot matrix window. Press the Enter key to select a program
and begin customizing the 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 settings will be used.
Note
: Age and Weight default settings will change when you enter a new number. So the last
age and weight entered will be saved as the new default settings. If you enter an 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.
