Entering A Program And Changing Settings
To begin a preset program, begin by pressing the desired program key, then press the Enter key. You now 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 Center. If you start a program without changing the settings, the default or saved 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 your age and weight the first time you use the elliptical trainer, you will not have to enter it every time you work out unless either your age or weight changes, or if another user enters a different age and weight.
