progress, the user can vary the resistance levels by pressing the UP and DOWN ARROW keys.

LOPE
SLOPE gradually increases the intensity throughout the workout duration. It is intended to strengthen the heart, as well
as the major muscle groups that are most active during the workout, such as the leg muscle groups. As the profile dia-
gram indicates, the workout starts at a low resistance level, builds to a peak and and with a low-level cool-down interval.
C
HALLENGE
CHALLENGE begins at a high resistance level and maintains this level throughout the duration. As the profile diagram
indicates, the workout begins at a high level and continues for most of the duration at a high plateau.
