Just Ski – Automatic Operation
Just Ski is designed for those days when you would rather not push any buttons or pre-set your
workout. Your first pull will turn on the PM and start recording your workout time and distance
automatically. You may also select Just Ski to set up the PM screen before you start skiing.
Note: You must ski for at least one minute for results to be saved in memory or on your LogCard.
Just Ski allows you to ski up to 50,000 meters.
Select Workout
The PM lets you choose or create a wide variety of workouts. You can choose
from the Standard List of pre-set workouts provided on the PM, or you can
create workouts of your own and build your own Custom List. If you have a
LogCard, you can store your five favorite workouts (Favorites) on the LogCard.
The ReSki function allows you to "re-ski" a saved workout (in Memory or on
the LogCard) by skiing against a Paceskier driven by a split-by-split* replay of the
saved workout. You can also race a Paceskier in a New Workout by entering a
pace for the Optional Paceskier setting when you set up the workout.
*Understanding Splits: Your workout results will be displayed and stored in
two ways: as a final result for the total distance or time, and as a set of points
along the way called splits. The splits show how your pace varied through
the workout. If you select a workout from Standard List, Custom List, or
Favorites, the duration of the split will be set for you. If you set up a New
Workout you have the opportunity to set the split duration. The PM divides your
New Workout into five segments, or splits, unless you alter the split duration
during set up. Interval workouts are not formatted to utilize splits.
To edit Custom List you must have a LogCard inserted. From Main Menu
select
More Options > LogCard > LogCard Utilities > Edit Custom List. This
enables you to copy workouts from Favorites on your LogCard to the Custom
List on the monitor.
Games
Fish Game: Earn points by catching good fish, and avoid losing points by
getting caught by the bad fish! Ski harder and your fish swims up. Ski easier and
your fish swims down. Each game lasts four minutes. Your Fish Game workout
information (time, distance, pace per 500 meters, etc.) is logged to your
LogCard (or PM Memory if skiing without a LogCard) just like a regular workout.
Darts (PM4 Only): This game rewards consistency in stroke rate and power
output. You get 300 darts to "throw" in a game and your score is calculated just
like a real game of darts. A bull's eye is worth 50 points and the next three rings
are worth 25, 10 and 5 points each.
Target Training (PM4 Only): This game rewards consistency and gives you
additional options to make it a more powerful training tool. Your score is the
percent of the best possible score obtainable. A bull's eye is worth 5 points,
and the remaining rings are worth 3, 2, and 1 point.
Target Training offers two choices:
• Just Ski – An open-ended target training session that allows you to ski for as
long as you like. Like the Darts game, the target pace will be based on your
recent pull.
• Advanced – Gives maximum control of your target training session by
allowing you to set your target pace, target stroke rate and workout time.
If you are interested in achieving a target pace and stroke rate, and holding
it for a pre-determined length of time, this is the game for you.
Racing (PM4 Only): The PM4 enables you to set up races with up to eight PM4-
equipped SkiErgs without using a computer. This can be done wirelessly or by
using Ethernet patch cables available from Concept2. If using cables, be sure to
plug them in before starting the race.
