It has a warmup period followed by gradually increasing CrossRamp inclines and resistance.
During the warmup period, the display prompts you to maintain a specific stride rate which increases muscle flexibility and raises your heart rate. When the program begins, maintain the recommended stride rate of 140 strides per minute to improve cardiopulmonary conditioning and muscular endurance. The ramp incline varies throughout the program every three minutes. When you complete the program, a
The CrossRamp and resistance are preset based on your body weight and the recommended strides per minute, but you have the option to adjust either one during the program using the arrow keys. If you make adjustments, you may change the effectiveness of the program.

The Hill Climb Program, available by pressing the VARIETY key, has preprogrammed CrossRamp settings in a fixed pattern. It is designed to increase muscle tone, cardio- conditioning, and endurance over several weeks.
The program consists of alternating forward and backward pedaling movements that focus on working the thigh and calf muscle groups. Display prompts appear indicating when to reverse pedal direction at select intervals: 25%, 50%, and 75% of program completion.
