How Does it Work

You then can step on the other pedal. Once you are on the elliptical you can start to push on the pedals to get the flywheel spinning. When this happen the console will turn on and light up. The touch screen works similar to other tablets and you operate it by pressing your finger on the screen and swiping when required. When the elliptical starts it will be in manual mode and you can change the incline and the resistance as needed by pressing the appropriate buttons. To use one of the built in workout programs you just need to touch the runner button at the bottom of the touch screen. From here you can follow the prompts to select the workout you want. When you have finished your workout before you dismount from the elliptical make sure it has come to a full stop. It may take several revolutions of the pedals to do so.

A profile of the incline and resistance of that specific workout will also be displayed.
All workouts are broken up into segments. Each segment equals a block of time, a resistance level, and an incline level. Once you have completed all segments the workout is over.
