Abstract
An exercise system including a support base and an operable member movably coupled to the support base. Electrically coupled to the operable member is an interface console. The interface console includes a plurality of speed level keys and a plurality of grade level keys. The speed level keys enable a user to selected different pre-set speeds of the operable member, while the grade level keys enable a user to select different pre-set grades of the operable member. Associated with the speed level and grade level keys are incremental keys that enable a user to incrementally increase and/or decrease the speed, grade, or resistance of the exercise system.

24. An exercise system comprising:
-
a support base;
an operable member movably coupled to said support base; and
an interface console electrically coupled to said operable member, said interface console comprising;
a plurality of speed level keys selectable by a user of the exercise system, each of said plurality of speed level keys being associated with a different pre-set speed of said operable member;
a plurality of grade level keys selectable by a user of the exercise system, each of said plurality of grade level keys being associated with a different pre-set grade of said operable member; and
an incremental control, said incremental control being configured to incrementally change a workout parameter of the exercise apparatus upon being selected by the user of the exercise apparatus.
