minutes, the computer measures your heart rate, and the power (watts). These numbers, along with information about your age and weight, are put into a formula and produce a “Fitness Score.”

Note: The Fitness Test is an excellent way to measure changes in your own ﬁtness level. It is not designed to be used to compare one person’s score to another person’s score. This is because the test protocol only estimates your “Maximum Heart Rate.”

■Calorie Goal

The Calorie Goal feature lets you select an amount of calories you would like to burn during your workout. When selecting CALORIE GOAL, use the UP or DOWN buttons to select the amount of calories you wish to burn from 10–990. Each increment will change the calories by ten. Conﬁrm your selected value by pressing the ENTER button.

The console will prompt you to choose a proﬁle program. Use the UP or DOWN buttons to select a proﬁle program, and press the ENTER button to conﬁrm your selection.

During the program, the calorie display will count down from the number of calories you entered to zero.

■Body Mass Index (BMI) Measurement

BMI is a useful tool that shows the relationship between weight and height associated with body fat and health risk. The table below gives a general rating and BMI score1:

BMI

Underweight	Below 18.5
Normal	18.5–24.9
Overweight	25.0–29.9
Obesity	30.0 and above

There are limitations, however. It may overestimate body fat in athletes and others who have a muscular build. It may also underestimate body fat in older persons and others who have lost muscle mass.
