Preset Programs
Preset programs automatically change the resistance or ramp level during a
workout according to a preset pattern called a prole. This provides a better
workout, since it uses a wider range of muscles and dierent intensities, a
well-known benet in the cross-training and interval-training world.
Each preset program can be set to change resistance level only, ramp level
only, or both. Each has a suggested duration, but this can be adjusted to
anywhere from 10 to 99 minutes. Two overall levels may be selected, which
raises or lowers the program prole.
Changing the ramp level changes which muscles are used. Adjust the ramp
level to your personal preferences, or to target dierent muscles.
Long Slow Distance
(40 minutes default)
This prole has small changes,
allowing for a more consistent style of eort, maximizing the duration of
your workout.
Short Interval
(20 minute default)
This has the widest variation of
resistance level and ramp level, and has the shortest default duration.
Moderate Interval
(30 minute default)
Smaller resistance and ramp
changes than Short Interval, but greater overall duration, resulting in a
longer workout.
Long Interval
(40 minute default)
The smallest resistance and ramp
alterations of any of the interval workouts, allowing a longer overall duration.
