GCOOL DOWN: 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 time the user presses the COOL DOWN key, the Cool Down duration shortens by one minute.

HWORKOUT 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 is proportional to the 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 the Lifepulse system sensors or 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.

IMESSAGE 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:

Level: programmed intensity level. Toggles with Heart Rate.

Heart Rate: the detected heart rate if the user is grasping Lifepulse system sensors or wearing the Polar heart rate 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 in miles per hour.

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.
