xR650 PROGRAMS
The xR650 features 16 built-in programs to keep workouts interesting:
Preset resistance programs:
Manual—Random—Interval—Custom Interval—Hill—10K
Heart rate controlled programs: Fat Burn—Cardio—Heart Rate Interval—Heart Rate Custom
Interval—New Leaf Custom—Heart Rate Hill—Heart Rate Speed
Interval
Constant power programs:
Constant Watts—Constant METs
Fitness program:
30-30
Programs begin with a warm-up to ease the body into the workout. During the warm-up, the resistance
increases each minute.
Preset resistance, constant power, and fitness programs incorporate a three-minute warm-up during which
resistance increases two levels per minute. Heart rate controlled programs include a warm-up which lasts
three minutes or until you reach your target heart rate; then your selected program begins. Increasing or
decreasing the Level changes the target heart rate.
How Does Workload Resistance (Level) Work?
Resistance Level
The xR650 has 30 discrete levels of resistance. Level 1 is the easiest and level
30 is the most difficult. The Manual program and Quick Start give the user
the ability to totally control the resistance level. Interval Programs (Interval,
Custom Interval, and 30-30) allow the user to select the resistance level for
specific 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 range of resistance levels during these workouts are
+/-4 of the entered program level (i.e., For program Level 5, minimum resistance
is Level 1 and maximum resistance is Level 9). During the workout, the overall
program resistance level is displayed on the console.
