1 to 9 minutes: A workout with a duration of less than 10 minutes is insufficient for the Hill program to complete all four phases adequately. The program, therefore, condenses a workout of this duration at various stages.

RANDOM
The RANDOM program creates a terrain of hills and valleys that varies with each workout. More than one million different patterns are possible. See the chart in section 4.5 depicting the range of incline percentages correlating to each “level” for this program.
MANUAL
During a MANUAL workout, the program does not automatically change speed, incline, or time duration, as selected by the user during the workout setup. The user can increase or lower these values, using the ARROW keys. In this program, the user selects an incline percentage between 0 and 15%.
EZ INCLINE WORKOUTTM
In this
The program consists of one hill. The user determines the elevation of the peak during the setup. This peak is reached after 75 percent of the workout is completed. Afterward, the incline gradually returns to zero percent.
NOTE: For workouts that are longer than 16 minutes, the level can be changed to any desired value. For workouts that are shorter than 16 minutes, the the level selection is limited.
