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 8-inch step.
There are 16 steps per floor, and 48 floors per mile.
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.
