■Start

Press START when the “PRESS START” screen appears; “FITNESS TEST” will display, confirming your selection. You can now begin exercising.

The program begins at level 1, and it will automatically adjust to bring you into a pre-determined “test zone” based upon an estimated maximum heart rate. Once you are in the “test zone,” the resistance level will remain constant.

The time clock will begin to count down from three minutes. During the last 30 seconds, the console will record the average watts, average heart rate, and generate a “Fitness Score.” It is important to keep your rpm’s steady for the whole three minutes to maintain a steady heart rate.

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.

Please note: The Fitness Test is a special program that requires uninterrupted exercise. After the initial fitness test set-up, certain buttons become inoperative after starting the program test:
