An exerciser is disclosed, of the type providing automatically controlled variations of effort levels, wherein “random”variations of effort level are included which are not predictable by the operator. The effort levels [steps]are provided in a sequence of four: the second [step]level is random; the fourth [step]level is different from the second [step value]level by half of the range; and the first and third [steps]levels are averages of the immediately preceding and immediately following [steps]levels.

In an exerciser apparatus, which provides variable loads to vary the energy expenditure demanded from the operator during an exercise program, the combination comprising: means for generating a random number which is not predictable by the operator; means for converting said random number into a corresponding value representing an energy expenditure level; and means for developing a load resisting the operator\s energy which corresponds to said energy expenditure level. An exercise control method, which provides variable loads to vary the energy expenditure demanded from the operator during an exercise program, comprising: generating a random number which is not predictable by the operator; converting said random number into a corresponding value representing an energy expenditure level; and developing a load resisting the operator\s energy which corresponds to said energy expenditure level.
