COOLDOWN: Workout programs end automatically in a Cooldown mode, which lowers the intensity
level. Press the COOLDOWN key at any desired point during a workout to go immediately into
Cooldown mode. In this phase of a workout the body begins to remove lactic acid and other accumu-
lated by-products of exercise, which build up in muscles during a workout and contribute to muscle
soreness. The console automatically adjusts each workout’s Cooldown level according to the individual
user’s performance.
O
WORKOUT PROFILE window: This window displays shapes, made of columns of lights, that represent
the levels of intensity in a workout-in-progress. The height of the first column on the left side of the
window is proportional to the current level of intensity.
During a
FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL,
or
EXTREME HEART
RATE
workout, which requires the use of a Polar
®
heart rate chest strap or the Lifepulse system sen-
sors, the WORKOUT PROFILE window displays a flashing heart shape to request the user’s heart
rate signal. If the console does not detect a signal, the MESSAGE CENTER displays the prompt
“NEED HEART RATE - PLACE HANDS ON SENSORS OR USE TELEMETRY STRAP". If the console
does not receive the signal within three minutes, the workout automatically is converted to a
MANUAL
program.
P
MESSAGE CENTER: This window displays step-by-step instructions for setting up a workout. During a
workout, it displays statistics about the progress of the workout:
•
Heart Rate:
the detected heart rate if the user is wearing the chest strap or grasping the Lifepulse
system sensors.
•
Distance:
the total distance traveled in miles (or kilometers if enabled).
•
Speed:
the pedaling speed or rate in miles per hour (or kilometers per hour if enabled).
•
Calories:
the number of calories burned since beginning the workout.
If programmed to do so, the MESSAGE CENTER displays any or all of these three values each time the
intensity level changes during the workout:
•
Calories per Hour:
the rate of calories burned per hour.
•
Watts:
effort level in Watts. The Watt is a unit of power output or the expression of the mechanical
rate of work.
•
METs:
effort level in METs. The MET is an expression of the rate of work for the human body at
rest, or a metabolic equivalent; one MET is approximately equal to the metabolism of a person at
rest.
