Interval program alternates between two different levels of resistance. Each level
is independently adjustable, so you can customize the amount of change between
the two intervals. During set-up you are required to enter your stride length. Next
you will be asked to enter the resistance for the higher interval. The default level
is 5, you can increase or decrease it as desired. The lower interval is equal to the
higher interval less 4 levels. All intervals have a one-minute duration. The resis-
tance level can be changed at any time during the warm-up or intervals by pressing
the Level (+/–) buttons on the console or the right moving handlebar. When changing
an interval level, it changes the interval (high or low) for the entire workout.
Hill program simulates walking or jogging up a big hill. The resistance increases
and the climb level will get more difficult the closer you get to the top. Increasing
or decreasing the resistance level changes all plateaus and hills for the entire
program. Each hill lasts for two minutes. Once you have reached all three
plateaus, the hill will be repeated. The resistance change between the plateaus
is computer controlled.
10K simulates jogging or running outdoors. It is a great training device to get ready
for a competition. The changes in terrain replicate the challenges you encounter
running outside. You can feel going uphill and downhill with gradual resistance
changes. The distance readout will count down from 6.2 miles (10 kilometers).
To end your workout simply press the Cool Down button. If you desire, you can
continue your workout after you have completed the 6.2 miles (10 kilometers)
distance.
