Life Fitness 93X operation manual

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, the WORKOUT PROFILE window displays a 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 - USE TELEMETRY STRAP". If the console does not receive the signal within three minutes, the workout automatically is converted to a MANUAL workout.

KMESSAGE CENTER: This window displays step-by-step instructions for setting up a work- out. During a workout, it displays statistics about the progress of the workout:

•Level: programmed intensity level. Toggles with Heart Rate.

•Heart Rate: the detected heart rate if the user is wearing the chest strap. Toggles with Level. If the on-board computer does not detect a heart rate, only Level is displayed throughout the workout.

•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. Toggles with Time.

•Time: time elapsed since the start of the workout. Toggles with Calories.

If programmed to do so, the MESSAGE CENTER displays any or all of these three values each time the intensity 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 metabo- lism of a person at rest.

See Chapter 5, titled Internal Settings for information about enabling the MESSAGE CENTER to display these additional settings.
