You can now begin exercising.
The program begins at level 1, and it will automatically
adjust to bring you into a pre-determined “test zone” based
upon an estimated maximum heart rate. Once you are in the
“test zone,” the resistance level will remain constant.
The time clock will begin to count down from three
minutes. During the last 30 seconds, the console will
record the average watts, average heart rate, and generate a
“Fitness Score.” It is important to keep your rpm’s steady
for the whole three minutes to maintain a steady heart rate.
The Fitness Test is an excellent way to measure changes
in your own fi tness level. It is not designed to be used to
compare one person’s score to another person’s score. This
is because the test protocol only estimates your maximum
heart rate.
Please note: The Fitness Test is a special program that
requires uninterrupted exercise. After the initial fi tness test
set-up, certain buttons become inoperative after starting the
program test:
