If programmed to do so, the MESSAGE CENTER displays any or all of these three values each time the intensity 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 meta-
bolic equivalent; one MET is approximately equal to the metabolism of a person at rest.

for information about enabling the MESSAGE CENTER to display these addition-
al settings.
