Curves: Points and Residuals
So I started using Curves Smart last week and have really been loving the charts and spreadsheets. For the most part, I understand what pops up on the screen after my workout, but did have a few questions for the ladies at Curves and posed them during my last visit. I thought I would share this information with all of you.
Points: When you first get your workout information, you get a tally of your points. This is actually your Performance Index (PI). It shows you the ones for that workout and cumulative to date depending on what box you selected earlier (my last 10 workouts or my most recent workout).
Residuals: Residuals occur when you do not reach your target PI. Each machine is broken down for you. The cylinders are the performance index for that machine and the dot shows you your target. If the cylinder is below the target you will have residuals in the far right red column. The lower the residuals, the better.
Hopefully that makes sense to everyone - I get it but sometimes I am not the greatest at explaining myself in words - particularly written words.
Our Curves doesn't care/do anything with/about the total points. But I do look at the PI each time, cals burnt, residuals, and some other stuff.
