Fitness Test

The Fitness Test measures the improvements of your physical fitness level. The test compares your power output (in Watts) to your heart rate. As you become more fit you will produce more power (Watts) at a given heart rate.

When the test starts, the power (Watts) slowly increases. This means you will work harder, and as a result, your heart rate increases. The Watts continue to increase automatically until your heart rate reaches the “Test Zone.” This zone is individually computed to be near 75 percent of your maximum heart rate. When you reach the Test Zone your machine holds the Watts steady for 3 minutes. This lets you reach a stable condition (where your heart rate becomes steady). At the end of the 3 minutes, the Console measures your heart rate and the power output (Watts). These numbers, along with information about your age and weight, are computed to produce a “Fitness Score”.

Note: Fitness Test scores should only be compared to your previous scores and not other users.

Over time, you will output more Watts of power at a certain Heart Rate. Compare your Fitness Scores to see your improvement.

Heart Rate Control (HRC) Program

The Heart Rate Control (HRC) program lets you set a heart rate goal for your workout. The program monitors your heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) from the Contact Heart Rate (CHR) sensors on the machine or from a Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) chest strap.

Note: The console must be able to read the heart rate information from the CHR sensors or HRM for the HRC program to work correctly.

If you go to the HRC program from your User profile, the Target Heart Rate program uses your age and other user setup information to set the Heart Rate Zone values for your workout. If you are a Guest User, you must enter your age and weight. The console display then gives prompts for you to set up your workout:

1.Set the workout level: FIT (beginner) or GETTING FIT (advanced).

2.Set the percentage of maximum heart rate: 60–70%, 70–80%, 80–90%.

Consult a physician before you start to exercise in the 80–90% heart rate zone.

3. Set the Time for the workout. (The default value is 10:00.)
