Manual (usethe"Endurance"BenetZone)
The Manual workout program is an open-ended workout that tracks the total workout time. During a
Manualworkout,theWorkoutProleDisplayshowstheResistanceLevel.
Note: Because of the open-ended design of the Manual workout, the Add Time button is
disabled.
Fitness Test
TheFitnessTestmeasurestheimprovementsofyourphysicaltnesslevel.Thetestcomparesyour
poweroutputtoyourheartrate.Asyourtnesslevelimproves,yourpoweroutputwillincreaseata
given heart rate.
Note: The Console must be able to read the heart rate information from the Contact Heart Rate
(CHR)sensorsorHeartRateMonitor(HRM)toworkcorrectly.
The Console will ask the User for their Weight and Age. Use the Increase and Decrease buttons to adjust the value, and push ENTER/START to set
the values. Start to work out and hold the Heart Rate Sensors. The workout starts with the Resistance Level low and increases it with each column.
Safely keep your pace steady as the Resistance Levels increase. This should gradually increase your heart rate. The Resistance Level 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foryourage.WhenyoureachtheTestZone,themachinestartsa3minutecountdownandholdstheResistanceLevelsteady.Thisletsyou
reachastablecondition(whereyourheartratebecomessteady).
Note: During a Fitness Test, the displayed 3 minute goal begins when the heart rate reaches the test zone. Be aware of the additional time
before the 3 minute countdown begins.
At the end of the 3 minutes, the Console measures your heart rate and the power output. These numbers, along with information about your weight
and age, are computed to produce a “Fitness Score”. Compare your Fitness Scores to see your improvement.
Note: FitnessTestscoresshouldonlybecomparedtoyourpreviousscoresandnottootherUserProles.WhencomparingFitnessTest
scores,anincreaseinyourscoreshowsanimprovementintnesslevel.

workout. Cool Down values are not added to the results or saved. Cool Down is ended with a push of
the PAUSE/STOP button or no RPM for 10 seconds.
