Workload Resistance
Resistance level
Octane Fitness PRO4500 has 30 discrete levels of resistance. Level 1 is the
easiest and level 30 is the most difficult. The Manual program and Quick Start
allow the user the ability to totally control the resistance level. Interval Programs
(Manual, Interval, PowerWalk, Stride Interval, Dual Direction, and Stride Burst)
allow the user to select the resistance level for individual intervals.
The resistance level is represented by rows of LEDs in the matrix display. Each
row that is lit represents 3 resistance levels. The table below will help you
understand and interpret the matrix display:

Program level
The Octane Fitness Random, Hill, and 10K programs allow the user to select an
overall resistance level for the program. This level is the average resistance level
for the workout. The resistance levels achieved during these workouts are plus
(+) or minus (-) 4 of the entered program level (i.e. If the selected program level
= 5, minimum resistance = 1, and maximum resistance level = 9). During the
workout, the overall program resistance level is displayed on the console.
Resistance in Heart
These programs (Fat Burn, Cardio, Heart Rate Interval, Heart Rate Hill, and Heart
Rate Speed Interval) allow the user to manually enter the target heart rate level
for program. If the target HR is reached during the warm-up, the warm-up ends
and the selected heart rate control program begins. The resistance level during
the heart rate controlled workout is controlled by the machine, increasing or
decreasing as necessary to keep the user’s heart rate on target.
