Programs have been added to the Cardio Trainer so you can add some variety to your workouts. You can choose from one of
5 built-in programs, which will run you through a pre-selected effort level profile. When choosing a program you select a
maximum effort level and a time from 10 to 99 minutes. Once set, the elliptical will not go above the maximum effort
level unless you manually override it. Each program is divided into 20 segments of equal time, beginning with 3 warm-up
segments and ending with 2 cool-down segments. For example, a 40-minute program will contain 20 two-minute segments.
