Just like manual control, the hill and interval programs
compensate for different body weights.
The two hill programs are:
ƒƒ
Rolling Hills , a series of gently
changing workloads.
ƒƒ
One Big Hill , with the
workload gradually increasing
to a maximum at the halfway
point, then decreasing
gradually to the end.
The three interval programs are:
ƒƒ
Easy intervals , with a
moderate change between
work and rest intervals.
ƒƒ
Sport intervals , with a large
change between work and
rest intervals.

OGRAMS
Each workout segment can
have a value between 1 and
8. The overall workout can
be adjusted to 16 possible
levels. The workload level of
a workout segment is
calculated by the formula
METs = (scaler1 * segment)
* (scaler2 * level) + 2
METs are then converted to
T-Mets.
Scaler1 and scaler2 are
mathematical formulas
which subtly change the
scale and magnitude of both
the segment and level
variables.
The constant "2" is simply the
minimum METs level
controllable by the elliptical.
