FITNESS TEST PROGRAM
The fitness test will assess your fitness level and give a score at the end of the test.This score
is not a Vo2 max number, but just a number to use as a reference.You can take the test every
month and the score should be higher as your level of fitness improves.The test will take
anywhere from 6-15 minutes.The test will ask you to maintain a pedal speed of 50 RPM and will
automatically make adjustments to the work load depending on your heart rate response to
set work levels.The test ends when you reach your target heart rate which is 85% of your
maximum heart rate (Max HR = 220-your age) or if your HR exceeds 110 BPM for 2 consecutive
stages.

During the test
The console must be receiving a steady heart rate for the test to begin. You may use the hand pulse sensors or wear a heart
rate chest strap transmitter.
You must maintain a steady 50 RPM pedal speed. If your pedal speed drops below 48 RPM or goes above 52 RPM the console
will emit a steady beeping sound until you are within this range.
You may scroll through the various data readings in the message window by pressing the Display button under the message
window.
1. The message window will always display your pedal speed on the right side to help you maintain 50RPM.
2. The data shown during the test is:
a. Work in KGM is actually an abbreviated form of kg-m/min, which is a work measurement of kilogram-force
meter/minute
b. Work in Watts (1 watt is equal to 6.11829727787 kg-m/min.)
c. HRis your actual heart rate; TGT is the target heart rate to reach to end the test.
d. Time is the total elapsed time of the test.

Cool down for about one to three minutes.
Take note of your score because the console will automatically return to the start-up mode after a few minutes.
