HOW TO USE THE FITNESS TEST WORKOUT
The fitness test workout measures your approximate
fitness age. Your fitness age is the average age of
someone at your fitness level.
For the most accurate results, use the fitness test
workout when you are not feeling tired, when you have
not eaten for at least two hours, and when you have not
exercised for at least 24 hours. Follow the steps below
to use the workout.
1. Put on the chest pulse sensor.
You must grip the hand grip pulse sensor or wear
the optional chest pulse sensor to use the fitness
test workout.
For the most accurate results, wear
the optional chest pulse sensor. See page 22 for
information on the optional chest pulse sensor.
Note: If you use the handgrip pulse sensor and the
optional chest pulse sensor at the same time, the
display will not show your heart rate accurately.
2. Insert the key into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 14.
3. Select the fitness test workout.
To select the fitness test workout, press either of
the Set Gender buttons.
Select your gender,
age, height, and weight
by pressing the increase
and decrease buttons
next to each selection. Height can be displayed in
either inches or centimeters. Weight can be dis-
played in either pounds or kilograms. To find which
unit of measurement is selected, see THE INFOR-
MATION MODE on page 22.
After each selection, press the Start Fitness Test
button. Note: Pressing the Start Fitness Test but-
ton at this time will not start the fitness test. If you
do not press the Start Fitness Test button, the dis-
play will advance to the next selection after a few
seconds.
4. Press the Start Fitness Test button to start the
workout.
A moment after you press the button, the treadmill
will automatically adjust to the first speed and in-
cline settings of the workout. Begin walking on the
treadmill. Note: For the most accurate results, do
not hold the handrails during the fitness test work-
out.
During the workout, the speed and incline of the
treadmill will periodically change. The speed set-
ting or the incline setting will appear in the display
to alert you before each change.
Important: The
Speed and Incline buttons will not function dur-
ing the workout. If you press the Stop button,
the fitness test will end.
