L PERSONAL TRAINER: Press this key for additional workout options, including customized workouts
designed by a fitness club trainer or staff member. See Section 5, titled Internal Settings for information on
designing custom workouts. The following workouts and goals may be accessed with this key:
• CROSS-TRAIN AEROBICS • FIT TEST
• CROSS-TRAIN REVERSE • DISTANCE GOAL
• PERSONAL TRAINER (1-6) • CALORIES GOAL
M HILL PLUS: Press this key to select HILL PLUS workouts, in which intensity levels increase and decrease
in set patterns. The following workouts may be accessed with this key:
• HILL • CASCADES
• AROUND THE WORLD • SPEED TRAINING
• KILIMANJARO • FOOTHILLS
• INTERVAL
N 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 accumulated 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 win-
dow 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 sensors,
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 inten-
sity 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.
