workout and contribute to muscle soreness. The console automatically adjusts each workout’s Cool Down level according
to the individual user’s performance.

J
WORKOUT PROFILE window: This window displays shapes, made of columns of lights, that represent the levels of inten-
sity in a workout-in-progress. The height of the first column on the left side of the window is proportional to the current
level of intensity.
During a Fat Burn or Cardio 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 while detecting the user’s heart rate signal. If the con-
sole 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.
K
MESSAGE 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:
•
Distance:
the total distance traveled in miles (or kilometers if enabled).
•
Heart Rate:
the detected heart rate if the user is wearing the chest strap or grasping the Lifepulse system sensors.
•
Calories:
the number of calories burned since beginning the workout.
•
Cal/HR:
the number of calories burned per hour.
If programmed to do so, the MESSAGE CENTER displays any or all of these values each time the intensity level changes
during the workout:
•
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.
