Fitness Test The Fitness Test measures improvement of your physical fitness level. The test compares your power output to your heart rate. As you become more fit, you will produce more power 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 logged in as Guest User, the program will prompt you to enter your age and weight before you start the test. Start to pedal and hold the Heart Rate Sensors. When the test starts, the resistance Level slowly increases. This means you will work harder, and as a result, your heart rate increases. The Level 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 Level 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 calculates your power output (from your Level and RPM data). 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. Over time, you will output more power at a certain Heart Rate. Compare your Fitness Scores to see your improvement. Results / Cool Down Mode After a workout the TIME display shows 00:00 and then starts to count up. During this Cool Down period, the Console shows the Workout Results and your current Heart Rate. All workouts except Quick Start have a 3-minute Cool Down period. The LCD display shows each workout data value for 4 seconds: TIME, DISTANCE, CALORIES, AVG/MPH (KMH), AVG/HR, MAX HR. You can use the START/ENTER button to move through the results manually. The HR display shows the current BPM value. The Level during Cool Down is based on the Level at the end of the workout: End Level Level ≤ 3 3 < Level ≤ 10 10 < Level Cool Down Level 1 3 5 You can push STOP to stop the Results display and go back to Power-Up Mode. If there is no RPM or HR signal, the Console automatically goes into Sleep Mode. 30

Fitness Test
The Fitness Test measures improvement of your physical fitness level. The test compares your
power output to your heart rate. As you become more fit, you will produce more power 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
logged in as Guest User, the program will prompt you to enter your age and weight before you
start the test.
Start to pedal and hold the Heart Rate Sensors. When the test starts, the resistance Level slowly
increases. This means you will work harder, and as a result, your heart rate increases. The Level
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 Level 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 calculates your power output (from your Level and RPM data). 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.
Over time, you will output more power at a certain Heart Rate. Compare your Fitness Scores to
see your improvement.
Results / Cool Down Mode
