Within each level are seven incline percentages, or hills. During a workout, each hill appears in the WORKOUT PROFILE window as rows of light stacked in a column. The number of lit rows within a column corresponds to an incline percentage. For example, in Level 5, the lowest incline is 0.0 percent and is represented as one lit row. The highest incline, 4.3 percent, is repre- sented by a column with all seven rows lit. In the HILL and RANDOM workouts, these varying hills occur for equal durations, as discussed in the HILL workout description. It is possible to change the level manually. To change levels during a workout, use the SELECT ARROW keys.
