HOW THE ELLIPTICAL CONTROLS YOUR EXERCISE
32
Different size riders cause Personal Power to shift the
workload value for each level (in Manual) or the entire
program profile (in pre-set programs) up or down. This means
the lowest available workload for a 300-pound rider is higher
than a 150-pound rider. Also, the differences between levels
are greater for a larger rider. (Also see Chapter 7, page 49.)
The elliptical's full capabilities are never restricted.
At the highest workloads, the elliptical can always
produce its maximum workload. Larger riders will
reach this maximum at numerically smaller levels compared to
smaller riders, but the elliptical will still be maxed out.
