You can start the Fitness Test from the FEEDBACK category. The Fitness Test program first prompts you to select your fitness level-Beginner ( "BEG" ) or Advanced ( "ADV" ). The Console will use the Age and Weight values for the selected User Profile to calculate the Fitness Score. Start to workout and hold the Heart Rate Sensors. When the test starts, the intensity of the workout slowly increases. This means you will work harder, and as a result, your heart rate increases. The intensity continues to increase automatically until your heart rate reaches the "Test Zone". This zone is individually computed to be near 75 percent of the maximum heart rate of your User Profile. When you reach the Test Zone, the machine holds the intensity steady for 3 minutes. This lets you reach a stable condition (where your heart rate becomes steady). At the end of the 3 minutes, the Console measures your heart rate and the power output. These numbers, along with information about your age and weight, are computed to produce a "Fitness Score". Note: F itness Test scores should only be compared to your previous scores and not to other User Profiles. Compare your Fitness Scores to see your improvement. Heart Rate Control (HRC) Workout Programs The Heart Rate Control (HRC) programs let you set a heart rate goal for your workout. The program monitors your heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) from the Contact Heart Rate (CHR) sensors on the machine or from a Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) chest strap, and adjusts the workout to keep your heart rate in the selected zone. Note: The console must be able to read the heart rate information from the CHR sensors or HRM for the HRC program to work correctly. The Target Heart Rate programs use your age and other User information to set the Heart Rate Zone values for your workout. The console display then gives prompts for you to set up your workout: 1. Select the Heart Rate Control workout level: BEGINNER ( "BEG" ) or ADVANCED ( "ADV" ) and push OK. 2. Push the Increase() or Decrease() buttons to select the percentage of maximum heart rate: 50-60%, 60-70%, 70- 80%, 80-90%. Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness in your chest, become short of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use the machine again. Use the values calculated or measured by the machine's computer for reference purposes only. The heart rate displayed on the console is an approximation and should be used for reference only. 3. Push the Increase() or Decrease() buttons to select the Goal type, and push OK. 4. Push the Increase() or Decrease() buttons to set the goal value for the workout. Note: Be sure to allow time for your heart rate to reach the desired heart rate zone when setting the goal. 5. Push OK to start the workout. Changing a Workout Program During a Workout The Console allows a different Workout Program to be started from an active workout. 1. From an active workout, push PROGRAMS. 2. Push the Increase() or Decrease() buttons to select the desired workout program, and push OK. 3. Push the Increase() or Decrease() buttons to select the Goal type, and push OK. 4. Push the Increase() or Decrease() buttons to set the value for the workout. 5. Push OK to stop the active workout and start the new workout. The previous workout values are saved to the User Profile. 32

Start to workout and hold the Heart Rate Sensors. When the test starts, the intensity of the workout slowly increases. This
means you will work harder, and as a result, your heart rate increases. The intensity continues to increase automatically until
your heart rate reaches the “Test Zone”. This zone is individually computed to be near 75 percent of the maximum heart rate
of your User Profile. When you reach the Test Zone, the machine holds the intensity steady for 3 minutes. This lets you reach
