The sample cross trainer workouts provided increase in difficulty as they're listed, from easy to difficult respectively. To view the list please visit the Cross Trainer Workouts directory page.

This workout, 2:1 (work:rest) ratio interval workout, is the second listed and is of moderate intensity (for those already active).

Remember, the workout provided is an example only. If you wish to make the gym workout easier or harder, factors you can alter include: difficulty level; RPM; duration; work to rest ratio etc.

Monitor your heart rate to ensure you're training within your targeted/ suggested heart rate zone, decrease or increase difficulty accordingly.

With the above in mind, it's worth noting that the standard pre-set workout programs on a home or commercial cross trainer can typically be altered (difficulty-wise) at the touch of a button.
