■ Recovery Test
Recovery Test shows how quickly your heart recovers from
an exercise state to a more restful state. Improved recovery
is an indicator of increasing fi tness. For the console to
perform the Recovery Test, two things must happen. You
must press the RECOVERY button, and the console must

console will then calculate your recovery score.
Recovery Score = Your heart rate at 1:00 (the beginning of
the test) minus your heart rate at 00:00 (the end of the test).
The display will show “SCORE (RECOVERY SCORE).”

over time you can see the trend toward better health!
