Important: Six stages ( 3 minute intervals) comprise the Fitness Test. The number of stages you complete is dependent on your level of fitness. Do not be alarmed if you do not complete all six stages; this is normal. However, you must complete at least two stages to receive a fitness score. Stopping or pausing during the Fitness Test, invalidates the test and you do not receive a fitness score.
2.When you successfully finish the test, the fitness score scrolls across the display. Then, the displays clear and your fitness score appears in the lower right display window. Your fitness category appears in the left display and is derived from your fitness score and gender. If you dispute the fitness score being displayed, you can retake the Fitness Test after a rest period.
Note: When you finish the Fitness Test, the running belt’s speed slows to 2 mph (3.2 kph) and the treadmill’s lift returns to 0% incline. Use the SPEED ▼ or ▲ keys to regulate the speed during your cool down.
