OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Console display Calorie consumption in kcal Note: Measuring the calorie consumption The calculation of the energy consumption is done by means CALORIES of a general formula. It is not possible to calculate an individual energy consumption exactly, because a multitude of personal data is required here.
WATT Resistance in watt Metabolic equivalent (= measure, which is used for expressing the oxygen cost (oxygen consumption per unit of body weight), which METS is required for accomplishing a task. A MET corresponds to the approximate metabolism of a sitting person at rest.
Alternatively, you can start the training immediately, so that the batteries are charged by the self-generated power. Please pay attention to the fact that only training sessions of 30 minutes and more can influence the charging of batteries with a lasting effect. When the speed signal is no longer received and the training is stopped and the computer has not been used for more than a minute, the backlight turns off for one minute.

Throughout the training, you are informed about time (TIME), covered distance (DIST), speed in rotations per minute (RPM), and burnt calories (CAL). Press DISPLAY SHIFT and the values of level of difficulty (LEVEL), resistance in watt (WATT), the metabolic equivalent (METS) as well as your current heart rate (PULSE) are displayed as well.

The following chart shows the relation between age and heart rate. Base Base Base BPM = Heart rate = beats per minute (H): = 95% of the max. heart rate; maximum value for pulse control (L): = 60% of the max. heart rate; minimum value for pulse control (Base): = 60-70% of the max.
WORKOUT INSTRUCTIONS Heart rate measuring Pulse measuring through hand sensors The hand sensors integrated in the handles allow you to determine your heart rate. You can measure your heart rate by lightly grasping the sensors with both hands at the same time.

Example: For a 45-year-old man or woman, the maximum heart rate is 175 (220 - 45 = 175). • The fat burning target zone (55%) is at approximately 96 beats/min. = (220 - age) x 0.55. • The cardio target zone (75%) is at approximately 131 beats/min. = (220 - age) x 0.75.
