M HILL PLUS: Press this key to select HILL PLUS workouts, in which intensity levels increase and decrease in set patterns. The fol-
lowing workouts may be accessed with this key:
• HILL • CASCADES
• AROUND THE WORLD • SPEED TRAINING
• KILIMANJARO • FOOT HILLS
• INTERVAL
N COOL DOWN: Workout programs end automatically in a Cool Down mode, which lowers the intensity level. 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. Press the COOL DOWN key at any desired point during a workout to go immediately
into Cool Down mode. The console automatically adjusts each workout’s Cool Down level according to the individual user’s per-
formance.
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 column furthest to the left is proportional to the current level of the 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 flash-
ing 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 statis-
tics about the progress of the workout:
• Heart Rate: the detected heart rate if the user is wearing the Polar heart rate chest strap or grasping the Lifepulse system
sensors.
• Distance: the total distance traveled.
• RPM (Revolutions Per Minute): the pedaling speed or rate.
• Calories: the number of calories burned since beginning the workout.
If programmed to do so, the MESSAGE CENTER displays other values each time the intensity level changes during the work-
out:
• Calories per Hour: the rate of calories burned per hour.
OR
• 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.
See Section 5, titled Optional Settings for information about enabling the MESSAGE CENTER to display these additional set-
tings.
Q LEVEL/TIME WINDOW: This window displays the programmed intensity level and the time elapsed since the start of the
program.
R BIKE MODE: Press this key to activate the Bike workout mode in which the rate of calories burned and the total distance
travelled increase automatically as the user increases the
pedaling speed.
S CONSTANT CAL./HOUR: Press this key to activate this alternate workout mode, which enables a user to maintain a con-
sistent rate of calories burned per hour.
For more information about Bike Mode and Constant Calories Per Hour Mode, see the topic Selecting a Workout Mode in
Section 4.2, titled, the Using the Workouts.
