Program selection can be changed at any time during a workout. This means

• However, the console must be reset before starting FIT TEST, TARGET
HR, AND CONSTANT WATTS programs.
5.2 INCLINE FUNCTION (ASCENT TRAINER ONLY)
Changing the incline will produce a wide variety of challenging workouts.
At 0 incline, you can expect a smooth, easy and low-impact pedal motion.
At higher incline levels, longer stride and higher step-up challenge the user
with a more focused glute workout.
• How the incline works A3x - by pressing the UP elevation arrow key(inwhite)
both incline arms pivot towards the rear of the machine. This increases both
stride length and step on height.
• Incline settings - There are 20 incline levels. One key press will change
the incline in 5% increments. The console will disply 0-100, which
represents total percentage of incline. LED display 25 is 25% of total
incline, 50 is 50% of the total incline and so on. Upper LED changes
on each key press, showing incline changes.
