7000 PT CONSOLE
THE WORKOUT STATISTICS
During the exercise program, the Stats keys are used to track workout statistics which are then shown in the display window. Pressing the [SELECT] key turns off the scanning feature and shows the statistic of choice in the display window.
Pressing the [SCAN] key will prompt the console to cycle through the following statistics:
•Distance - Provides a cumulative total of the equivalent distance (in miles or kilometers), you would have traveled while riding a bicycle outdoors at the same relative intensity.
•Calories/Hour - Provides a running total of the number of calories burned dur- ing a workout.
•Rate - Displays the current steps per minute.
•Floors - Displays the equivalent number of floors climbed with an
•Level - Shows the current intensity level between 1 (the easiest) and 20 (the hardest).
•Watts - Displays the exercise intensity in watts (746 watts = 1 horsepower).
•METs - Gives you the relative energy cost of exercise. MET stands for mul- tiples of the resting metabolic rate. While you are sitting quietly, your body con- sumes oxygen at the rate of about 3.5 milliliters per kilogram of body mass per minute. When you exercise, your body needs more oxygen in order to function. For example, exercising at 10 METs requires ten times the resting rate of oxygen consumption, or about 35 milliliters per kilogram per minute. During a workout, this key shows the current MET level. During the workout summary, the average MET level is displayed.
•Target Heart Rate - Available only during the Constant Heart Rate program. Shows the selected target heart rate.
At the completion of a workout, the statistic averages are calculated based on the accumulation of data during the workout program, and not including the cool down period.
