Claim:
1. An exercise system, comprising: a movable element that is movable in the performance of an exercise, the movable element having at least one selectively adjustable operating parameter that selectively alters an exercise rate of a user relative to a default exercise rate; and a display that presents display programming to the user, the display programming comprising a plurality of consecutive frames, the display programming having a default display rate that corresponds to the default exercise rate, the display programming being adjustable to correlate the display programming with the exercise rate of the user, the display programming being adjusted by an amount that is commensurate with a difference between the exercise rate of the user and the default exercise rate by periodically pausing the display programming when the exercise rate of the user is less than the default exercise rate and greater than zero to correlate the display programming with the exercise rate of the user; wherein the periodic pausing of the display programming includes presenting at least one frame at the default display rate between a first paused frame and a second paused frame within the plurality of consecutive frames when the exercise rate of the user is maintained at a rate that is greater than zero and less than the default exercise rate.
