The PRO370 has 30 discrete levels of resistance. Level 1 is the easiest and
level 30 is the most difficult. The Manual program and Quick Start give the user
the ability to totally control the resistance level. Interval Programs (Interval,
Custom Interval, and 30-30) allow the user to select the resistance level for
specific intervals.
The resistance level is represented by rows of LEDs in the matrix display. Each
row that is lit represents 3 resistance levels. The table below will help you
understand and interpret the matrix display:

The Octane Fitness Random, Hill, and 10K programs allow the user to select an
overall resistance level for the program. This level is the average resistance
level for the workout. The range of resistance levels during these workouts are
+/- 4 of the entered program level (i.e., For program Level 5, minimum resistance
is Level 1 and maximum resistance is Level 9). During the workout, the overall
program resistance level is displayed on the console.
The Constant Watts and Constant METs programs allow the user to enter the
power output level, in watts or METs, for the program. The resistance level
during these constant workouts is controlled by the machine, increasing or
decreasing as necessary in tandem with the user's speed to keep the output
on target.
These programs (Fat Burn, Cardio, Heart Rate Interval, Heart Rate Custom
Interval, New Leaf Custom, Heart Rate Hill, and Heart Rate Speed Interval)
allow the user to manually enter the target heart rate level for program. If the
target HR is reached during the warm-up, the warm-up ends and the selected
heart rate control program begins. The resistance level during the heart rate
controlled workout is controlled by the machine, increasing or decreasing as
necessary to keep the user's heart rate on target.
