Fitness Test Tips

Read through the following tips before selecting the Fitness Test.

•Sit and rest for at least five minutes prior to taking the test.

•You must enter your weight, age, and gender.

•You can change to another program while in the midst of taking the Fitness Test, but you will not receive a fitness score.

•If you press the RESET key during the test, the test ends and the display indicates whether the test was completed.

Important: If you need to stop the pedaling to regain control or reduce your heart rate, please do so. You can retake the fitness test later.
