When you workout in Manual Mode, be sure to include a three-to-five minute
warm-up and cool-down period. You can warm-up by setting a low resistance
at zero incline and then gradually increase the incline and resistance to the
target for your workout. Reverse this process for your cool-down period,
lowering the resistance gradually and returning the incline to zero.

The Workout Profile

The Workout Profile matrix in the center of the display uses columns of lights to
show the progress of your workout. The height of the column represents METS,
specifically the highest METS you reached in that period. Each column
represents 1 minute of your total workout time when in Manual Mode and 15
seconds in every other program.
NOTE: It is conceivable to have two segments of different speed and elevation
combinations in the same met range.
