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 saved, settings will be used.
The default computer settings are: Age = 35, Weight = 150 Lbs., Time = 30:00, Max Level,
each program has a different maximum work level: Hill = 7, Fatburn = 5, Cardio = 7,
Strength = 8, Interval = 7.
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 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.
