Hill Climb Program

The Hill Climb Program (P6) 
has preprogrammed 
CrossRamp settings in a fixed 
pattern. It is designed to 

increase muscle tone, cardio-conditioning, and endurance 
over several weeks.

The program consists of optimized CrossRamp setting 
combined with alternating forward and backward pedaling 
movements that focus on working the gluteal muscle 
group. Display prompts appear indicating when to reverse 
pedal direction at select intervals: 25%, 50%, and 75% of 
program completion.

During your exercise session, set a comfortable and 
consistent stride rate. If needed, use the CROSSRAMP or 
RESISTANCE arrow keys to override upcoming settings. 
Adjustments to the resistance affect the remainder of the 
program. CrossRamp adjustments are reflected in the 
program profile.

Gluteals Program

The Gluteals Program (P7) is 
designed to exercise your 
gluteal muscles.

The program consists of alternating forward and backward 
pedaling movements. Display prompts appear indicating 
when to reverse pedal direction at select intervals: 25%, 
50%, and 75% of program completion.

During your exercise session, set a comfortable and 
consistent stride rate. If needed, use the CROSSRAMP or 
RESISTANCE arrow keys to override upcoming settings. 
Adjustments to the resistance affect the remainder of the 
program. CrossRamp adjustments are reflected in the 
program profile.
