For the ideal weight loss range, your heart rate should be between 55% and 70% of your maximum aerobic heart rate. If you wear the chest strap, you can use SmartRate as a visual cue.

Set a comfortable stride rate and then adjust the resistance and ramp incline.

Maintain a level of exertion so that the first yellow LED blinks in the SmartRate display during rest intervals.

During the work intervals, increase your level of exertion so that the first green LED blinks.

For more information about the SmartRate display, refer to Using SmartRate.

Fitness Test (FITN)

FITN

The Fitness Test Program provides a 5-minute test. You cannot adjust the resistance or ramp incline levels. When you complete the test, the display provides a fitness score and fitness category.

The Fitness Test measures the maximum amount of oxygen (V02max) the body can use for energy production during exercise. The higher the amount of oxygen that your body can use enhances your ability to exercise for prolonged periods of time. The test results can help you gauge the effectiveness of your current exercise routine and tailor it to meet your fitness goals.
