4.5SELECTING AN INTENSITY LEVEL

The steps for setting up a HILL or RANDOM workout include selecting a level. The word “level” refers to a range of incline percentages. The treadmill features 20 levels, with Level 1 having the lowest average incline grade and Level 20 having the highest.

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 represented 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 in Section 4. It is possible to change the incline percentage manually, but the change remains in effect only for the duration of the hill in question. When the workout program brings up a new hill, the incline percentage changes automatically to match that hill.

To change levels during a workout, use the ARROW keys.

During the EZ INCLINE workout, the number of the selected level equals the height of the hill, expressed as an incline percentage. For example, at Level 5, the peak of the hill is at a 5.0%.
