Manual –the Manual program can be selected by depressing the "Quick/Start" button or by selecting Program 1 and entering a workout time before starting your workout. This program gives you the maximum amount of control and only changes when you initiate the change in either "Speed" or "Incline". The Manual program should be used for steady state training.

Stride – the Stride program is the only program that automatically changes both "Speed" and "Incline". This program gradually increases the speed and incline of your workout and raises your heart rate in the process. After reaching the maximum speed and incline, the program gradually brings the incline and speed back to where you started in your workout. The range of "Speed" and "Incline" for each level is shown in the table below.
