Starting a Workout

Ending a Session

Cooling down is an important aspect of your workout because it helps reduce muscle stiffness and soreness by transporting excess lactic acid out of the working muscles. In addition, a three to five minute cool down allows your heart rate to return to its normal, resting state.

At the end of your workout, a Summary screen displays your average heart rate during your workout and your accumulated workout metrics.

If you performed a fitness test exercise program, an initial message presents a fitness score.

The next two messages display the user’s average and maximum heart rate during the session. These messages are only displayed if heart rate data was acquired during the session, i.e., a valid heart rate number was displayed at least once during the session.

The summary state times out in two minutes, causing a return to the Welcome banner. If the machine is in a CSAFE Finished state then the summary state must last for at least the CSAFE timeout value, typically 10 seconds. If it has not lasted that long, then before returning to the Welcome banner, the word RESETTING appears until the CSAFE finished state ends.

Three different types of metrics are captured during a workout.

Controlled Metrics can be set and changed. They include:

Resistance Level (AMT, EFX, bike)

Speed (treadmill)

Incline (treadmill)

Steps/Minute (climber)

Current Performance Metrics describe the intensity of a workout in real time. They include:

Calories/Minute, Calories/Hour

Heart Rate

Speed (treadmill, bike)

Revolutions/Minute (bike)

Strides/Minute (AMT, EFX)
