With the Smooth Fitness 7.1 treadmill you have the opportunity to manually select incline and speed settings while you workout, or choose from the eight pre-set programs. The target time, distance, and calories pre-set programs allow you to input your desired target and then manually make adjustments to the level of incline and speed as you workout.
