MHILL 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:

•INTERVAL

NCOOL 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.

OWORKOUT 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.

PMESSAGE 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.

•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.

QLEVEL/TIME WINDOW: This window displays the programmed intensity level and the time elapsed since the start of the program.

RBIKE 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.

SCONSTANT 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.
