NCOOLDOWN: Workout programs end automatically in a Cooldown mode, which lowers the intensity level. Press the COOLDOWN key at any desired point during a workout to go immediately into Cooldown 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 Cooldown level according to the individual user’s performance.

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 first column on the left side of the win- dow is proportional to the current level of 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 flashing 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 statistics about the progress of the workout:

Heart Rate: the detected heart rate if the user is wearing the chest strap or grasping the Lifepulse system sensors.

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.

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