Starter program is a great routine for beginners or people just getting back into
their workouts. This program is designed to carry you through 10 workouts,
gradually increasing intensity each day. There are 10 levels that contain a preset
value for time, resistance level, stride length and a recommended speed (RPM)
for that day's workout. Changing the Level (+/-) when programming the console
gives you the preset value outlined in the chart below. Once you have entered
the program level, the preset values will be displayed in the corresponding
windows. The preset values can be changed during the workout.

PowerWalk program combines high resistance/short stride and lower resistance/
long stride intervals in order to closely simulate the feel of hiking uphill and
downhill. Each interval is two minutes long. The low resistance/long stride
interval is great for lower-body full range of motion. The high resistance short
stride session decreases leg activity while putting an intense strength-building
requirements on the upper body. During set-up, first you select the long and short
stride lengths. Next you will be asked to enter the high resistance. The default
level is 5, but you can increase or decrease it by pressing the Level (+/-) buttons.
The low resistance/long stride interval level equals the high resistance/short
stride less 4 levels (low resistance/long stride interval = high resistance/short
stride level – 4 levels). During the workout, the level and stride length can be
independently changed for the interval by pressing the Level (+/-) buttons.
