INSTRUCTOR’S MANUAL
USING THE PERFORMANCE MONITOR
The Performance Monitor measures the work that a skier does while skiing and provides feedback on
performance. You can view your performance in pace, watts and Calories. The PM displays your output
in a choice of units and display options. You can choose the units and displays that work best for you,
and you can change them at any time during your workout.
Your stroke output is displayed on the Performance Monitor. Watch the time/500m display window of
the monitor and you will notice the number changes at the end of each pull. This number shows you
the output of the stroke you just finished. Because the monitor self-calibrates with each stroke, this
allows you to compare each pull, interval and workout.
The number will seldom be the same from stroke to stroke as it will take time to develop consistent
power application.
The PM can display your stroke output in three different units of measure:
• Ski speed as time per 500 meters: The time per 500 meters is to an erger what time per mile
is to a runner. Tell any runner that you do sub a 5-minute mile and he will know how fast you
run. On the Concept2 SkiErg, erg speed is related to the amount of power you are producing to
make the flywheel spin.
• Watts: You can view your effort as units of power in watts. If you ski at 100 watts, you are
producing the amount of power it takes to keep a 100-watt light bulb lit. The harder you work,
the more watts you produce, and the less time it will take to go 500 meters. When you produce
power, your body burns calories.
• Calories per hour: The performance monitor makes an approximation of the rate you are burning
Calories based on the amount of power you are producing.
Total elapsed time.
Memory
Strokes per minute (s/m).
Stroke output: Pace (time/500m) A faster pace is
indicated by a shorter time to cover the distance.
Total meters.
Heart rate
(Optional. Requires additional chest belt.)
Average pace (in time) per 500m
This is the average for your entire
workout.
Projected meters in 30 minutes if the current
average pace is maintained.
Split meters. The number of
meters in a given distance or
time. Splits are five minutes long.
