HOW TO USE THE FITNESS TEST PROGRAM
The fitness test program is designed to measure your relative fitness level. For the best results, the fitness test program should be used at a time when your en- ergy level is high; the fitness test program should not be used if you have already exercised during the day.
Note: You must wear the optional chest pulse sen- sor to use the fitness test program (see page 25). Follow the steps below to use the fitness test program.
1 Put on the chest pulse sensor.
To put on the chest pulse sensor, see the instruc- tions included with the chest pulse sensor.
2 Insert the key fully into the console.
See GETTING STARTED on page 11.
3 Select the fitness test program.
When the key is inserted, the manual mode will automatically be selected. To select the fitness test program, first press the Select Workout Goal button repeatedly until the words “HEART RATE” appear in the main display.
Next, press the Select Course button repeatedly until the words “FITNESS TEST” appear.
When the fitness test program is selected, the program display will show the first thirteen speed settings for the program.
4 Enter your age.
Three seconds after the fitness test program is se- lected, the words “ENTER AGE” and the current age setting will appear in the main display. You must enter your age to use the fitness test program.
If you have already entered your age, go to step 5. If you have not entered your age, press the Enter Age buttons to enter your age. The buttons can be held down to enter your age quickly. Once you have entered your age, it will be saved in memory.

When the button is pressed, the main dis-

gram has begun. The incline of the treadmill will automatically adjust to 3% and the walking belt will begin to move at 1.5 mph. Hold the handrails and begin walking.
The fitness test program is divided into seven,
programmed for
each segment. The speed setting for the first segment will be shown in the flashing Current
Segment column of
the program display. (The incline settings are not shown in the program display.) The speed settings for the next thirteen segments will be shown in the thirteen columns to the right.
