3)WORKOUT PROGRESS

The Workout Progress screen opens automatically upon completion of the setup, signaling the user to start the workout. The Workout Progress screen allows the user to monitor the progress of the work- out. It provides a visual representation of the workout as it proceeds and monitors Distance, Calories, Watts, METs, Time, Level and RPM (depending on which workout is selected). From here TIME, LEVEL, TARGET HEART RATE*, and MODE (Bike or Constant Cals/Hr.) can be changed at any point during a workout. This screen also allows access to TV viewing.

M. MESSAGE AREA: Shows the user the workout type, prompts the user for needed information, and explains concepts.

N.WORKOUT PROFILE WINDOW: This window displays the levels of intensity in a workout-in- progress as proportional columns. The height of the column furthest to the left is proportional to the current level of intensity. (When the TV is on it covers this window.)

*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 LifepulseTM sys- tem 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 AREA displays the prompt,

“NEED HEART RATE- PLACE HANDS ON LIFEPULSE SENSORS OR USE TELEMETRY STRAP” and beeps three times. If the console does not receive the signal within three minutes, the workout auto- matically is converted to a MANUAL program.

O.MODE: Use Mode to choose Bike Mode or Constant Cals/HR. The default setting is Constant Cals/Hr.

•Bike Mode: Select this button 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 pedal- ing speed. (Bike Mode is not available for heart rate workouts.)

•Constant Cals/HR: Press this key to maintain a constant 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.

*Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the FAT BURN workout is 117. This workout targets 65 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.65=117
