Calorie Burn Rate; Heart Rate - Bowflex MAX Trainer M5u User Manual

Calorie Burn Rate

The Calorie Burn Rate display field shows the current rate at which calories are being burned per minute. The RPM and Resistance Level directly
change this rate. The User Profile settings also affect the rate (User weight).

Heart Rate

The Heart Rate display shows the heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) from the heart rate sensors. This value will not be shown if a heart rate signal
is not detected.
Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness in your chest, become short
of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use the machine again. The heart rate displayed on the console is an
approximation and should be used for reference only.
RPM
The RPM display field shows the machine revolutions per minute (pedal speed).
Resistance Level
The Resistance Level display field shows the current Resistance Level (1-16). The higher the Resistance Level, the harder it will be to push the Ped-
als.
