Resistance in
“Constant” Programs
The Constant Watts and Constant METs programs allow the user to enter the
power output level, in watts or METs, for the program. The resistance level
during these constant workouts is controlled by the machine, increasing or
decreasing as necessary in tandem with the user’s speed to keep the output
on target.
Resistance in Heart
Rate Controlled
Programs
These programs (Fat Burn, Cardio, Heart Rate Interval, Heart Rate Custom
Interval, New Leaf Custom, 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.
Exercisers choose the program that best fits their workout needs for any given day. They can decide how
hard to work by setting the resistance level and time for each program. Four programs—Manual, Custom
Interval, Custom Heart Rate Interval, and New Leaf Custom—provide even more flexibility to program
individual workouts to meet specific needs.
Use the quick-reference chart on the following pages to help select and set up the programs, or read on
