A:Answer Hey there - We're sorry for any confusion. The 430 elliptical has 20 levels of computer controlled resistance, so you do not have to get off the machine to adjust the resistance. The 430 elliptical does, however, provide 6 different incline options that are adjusted manually. If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Care team - we are happy to help!
