4. Use the Increase() and Decrease() buttons to change the resistance level (default level is 3, maximum level is 8), and push START/ENTER. 5. Push the START/ENTER button to start the Profile workout. Fitness Test The Fitness Test measures the improvements of your physical fitness level. The test compares your power output (in Watts) to your heart rate. As your fitness level improves, your power output will increase at a given heart rate. You can start the Fitness Test from the FITNESS TEST option in the Program Menu. The Fitness Test program first prompts you to select your fitness level-Beginner or Advanced. The program will use the Age and Weight values in your User profile to calculate your Fitness Score. If you are a Guest User, the program will use the default values for your workout. Start to pedal and hold the Heart Rate Sensors. When the test starts, the power (Watts) slowly increases. This means you will work harder, and as a result, your heart rate increases. The Watts continues to increase automatically until your heart rate reaches the "Test Zone." This zone is individually computed to be near 75 percent of your maximum heart rate. When you reach the Test Zone, your machine holds the Watts 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 (Watts). These numbers, along with information about your age and weight, are computed to produce a "Fitness Score". Note: Fitness Test scores should only be compared to your previous scores and not other users. Compare your Fitness Scores to see your improvement. Heart Rate Control (HRC) Workout The Heart Rate Control (HRC) program lets 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. 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. If you go to the HRC program from your User profile, the HRC program uses your age and other user setup information to set the Heart Rate Zone values for your workout. If you do not use a User profile, the program will use the default values for your workout. The console display then gives prompts for you to set up your workout: 1. Set the workout level: BEGINNER or ADVANCED. 2. Set the percentage of maximum heart rate: 60-70%, 70-80%, 80-90%. Consult a physician before you start to exercise in the 80-90% heart rate zone. 3. Set the Time for the workout. (The default value is 10:00.) For more detailed information about fitness zones, please refer to the fitness information on our website: www.schwinnfitness.com. Pausing or Stopping 1. Push the STOP/RESET button to pause your workout. WORKOUT PAUSED mode shows on the Display. 2. Push START/ENTER to continue your workout, or push the STOP/RESET button to stop the workout. 30

Fitness Test
The Fitness Test measures the improvements of your physical fitness level. The test compares your power output (in
Watts) to your heart rate. As your fitness level improves, your power output will increase at a given heart rate.
You can start the Fitness Test from the FITNESS TEST option in the Program Menu. The Fitness Test program first
prompts you to select your fitness level—Beginner or Advanced. The program will use the Age and Weight values in
your User profile to calculate your Fitness Score. If you are a Guest User, the program will use the default values
for your
workout.
Start to pedal and hold the Heart Rate Sensors. When the test starts, the power (Watts) slowly increases. This means
you will work harder, and as a result, your heart rate increases. The Watts continues to increase automatically until your
heart rate reaches the “Test Zone.” This zone is individually computed to be near 75 percent of your maximum heart rate.
When you reach the Test Zone, your machine holds the Watts 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 (Watts). These numbers, along with information about your age and weight, are computed to produce a
“Fitness Score”.

Fitness Test scores should only be compared to your previous scores and not other users.

Heart Rate Control (HRC) Workout
The Heart Rate Control (HRC) program lets 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.
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.
If you go to the HRC program from your User profile, the HRC program uses your age and other user setup information to
set the Heart Rate Zone values for your workout. If you do not use a User profile, the program will use the default values
for your workout. The console display then gives prompts for you to set up your workout:
1.
Set the workout level: BEGINNER or ADVANCED.
2.
Set the percentage of maximum heart rate: 60–70%, 70–80%, 80–90%.
