Workouts end automatically in a Cool Down mode, which lowers the intensity level. Press the COOL DOWN key at any
desired point during a workout to go immediately into Cool Down 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 Cool Down level according to the individual user’s
performance. Each additional time the user presses the COOL DOWN key, the resistance level shortens by half. It is possible
to change the Cool Down duration by pressing the TIME ARROW keys.

QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising, and it bypasses the steps of selecting a specific workout. The
intensity level for the workout is set automatically and remains the same unless manually changed. To change the level
press the UP or DOWN ARROW keys. If the CALORIES PER HOUR display is enabled, the MESSAGE CENTER dis-
plays ENTER WEIGHT, which is required to calculate this ratio. Using the ARROW KEYS, increase or decrease the dis-
played weight to the correct value.

* This workout requires the user to gasp the hand pulse sensors or wear the telemetry chest strap.
** Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the CARDIO HILL workout is 144. This
workout targets 80 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144. A 20-year-old user’s THR is 160, so the equation would be (220-
20)*.80=160.
