There are seven possible hill incline percentages within the range for any level. The first hill height is represented by four lights per column in the Workout Profile Window, and each successive LED represents a higher hill. For example, in level 5, the lowest incline percentage for any hill is 0.0% (represented by one LED) and no hill will be higher than a 5.0% incline (all 7 LED’s in the column will be lit). When the workout calls for a change in incline, the elevation will change in accordance with the level originally selected. A new level can be chosen at any time during any workout.

During EZ Incline Workout, the level chosen equals the height of the hill you will encounter. For example, at level 5, the peak of the hill will be at 5.0% incline (level 15 will present a 15% incline).
