3. E230X /E250X /E390X EXERCISE PROGRAMS
The E230X / E250X / E390X exercise programs are designed to help you achieve your personal fitness goals and stay in shape.
They have been organized by category so you can quickly and easily find the best program(s) for your needs.
Each exercise program includes a series of preset resistance profiles that offer you a variety of training programs and intensity
levels.
In addition, to help you meet your muscular and cardiovascular goals and keep you motivated, some Bodyguard®programs
feature target speed profiles. The console interacts with you by means of scrolling messages on target speed and an arrow
that tells you when you need to go faster or slower to reach your target speed.
Example: Target speed display
To take your training even further, the elliptical boasts innovative programs to help you work more efficiently and target specific
parts of your body. Once again, the interactive console indicates the various body positions for you to take throughout your
exercise session.
Example: Position display
The E230X / E250X / E390X display console is there to guide you throughout your workout to help you meet your personal
goals. Some programs combine speed profiles and body positions. You can always stop the scrolling messages and return to
your regular exercise settings by pressing one of the three select keys.
Programs features between 15 and 20 levels of difficulty, depending on the type of program. By increasing or decreasing the
level difficulty, you may change the target speed and/or resistance profiles. When a program has levels of difficulty, the selected
level is displayed in the middle of the scrolling screen if the LEVEL (red LED light) is selected.
Note: Target speed profiles are suggested speeds only. They are in no way mandatory, but simply a guide to help you get the
most out of your workout. If a speed seems too high or low, we suggest that you find a rhythm that suits you.
Note: The Body Position feature is there to help you get the most out of your workout. The suggested positions are in no way
mandatory. If a position is uncomfortable, do not take it.
Note: When you change the resistance of a segment in programs with 15 levels of difficulties, the resistance value will
appear in the middle of the scrolling screen before being replaced by the selected Profile Level if the LEVEL (red LED light) is
selected.

3.1 JustGo™
The JustGo program allows you to start a manual exercise at the touch of one key. Since JustGo is the initial program, it will
always be displayed first for easy selection. You have total control of the pedal resistance at all times during this program. Use
the JustGo program if you like to exercise at fairly constant speeds with little or no changes during the exercise.
During the workout, the selected resistance will stay the same until you change it. A flashing dot indicates your progress. You
may adjust the resistance at any time by pressing the INCREASE/DECREASE LEVEL keys if you want to change the entire
profile or the INCREASE/DECREASE SEGMENT keys if you just want to change a segment.
The JustGo program does not allow you to predetermine your exercise time or enter your weight. As a result, the calories
burned and calories per hour values are based on a user weighing 68 kg (150 lbs.). The calories burned values in the JustGo
program should be used only as a reference. Moreover, the exercise time is automatically set its maximum of 99 minutes.
There are two ways to access the JustGo program.
