using the Up and Down keys, then press the Enter key to accept the new number and
proceed on to the next screen.

Fat Burn
The Fat Burn program is designed, as the name implies, to maximize the burning of fat. There are
many schools of thought on the best way to burn fat but most experts agree that a lower exertion
level that stays at a steady workload is the best. The absolute best way to burn fat is to keep your
heart rate at around 60% to 70% of its maximum potential. This program does not use heart rate
but simulates a lower, steady exertion workout.
To start the Fat Burn program follow the instructions below or just select the Fat Burn program
then the Enter button and follow the directions in the message window.
1. Select the Fat Burn program then press the Enter key.
2. The message window will ask you to enter your Weight. You may enter your weight using the
Up and Down keys, then press the Enter key to accept the new number and proceed on to the
next screen.
3. You are now asked to enter your Age. You may adjust the age number using the Up and
Down keys, then press enter to continue.
4. Next is Time. You may adjust the Time and press enter to continue.
5. Now you are asked to adjust the Max Level. This is the peak exertion level you will
experience during the program. Adjust the level and then press enter.
6. Now you are finished editing the settings and can begin your workout by pressing the Start
key. You can also go back and modify your settings by pressing Stop key to go back one level,
or screen.
