HOW TO USE THE FITNESS TEST PROGRAM
The fitness test program is designed to measure your
relative fitness level. For the best results, the fitness
test program should be used at a time when your en-
ergy level is high; the fitness test program should not
be used if you have already exercised during the day.
Note: You must wear the chest pulse sensor to use
the fitness test program.
Follow the steps below to use the fitness test program.
Put on the chest pulse sensor.
Refer to the instructions on page 8 and put on the
chest pulse sensor. Note: The fitness test pro-
gram will automatically stop if your heart rate is
not detected 4 minutes after the program is
started.
Insert the key fully into the console.
See GETTING STARTED on page 11.
Select the fitness test program.
When the key is in-
serted, the manual
mode will be selected.
To select the fitness test
program, press the
PROGRAM button re-
peatedly until the Fitness
Test indicator lights. When you select the fitness
test program, the program display will show a sim-
plified profile of the program.
Enter your age.
When the fitness test
program is selected, an
age setting will flash in
the Incline display and
the letters “AGE” will
appear in the Time dis-
play. You must enter your age to use the fitness
test program. If you have already entered your
age, go to step 5. If you have not entered your
age, press the AGE buttons to enter your age.
Four seconds after the buttons are pressed, the
age setting will disappear from the display. Your
age will then be saved in memory.
Press the START button or the Speed + button
to start the program.
When the button is
pressed, the Distance/
Watts display will show
an “L 1” (level 1), indicat-
ing that the first 4-minute
segment of the fitness
test program has begun. The incline of the tread-
mill will automatically adjust to 3% and the walking
belt will begin to move at 1.5 mph. Hold the
handrails and begin walking.
The fitness test program consists of seven, 4-
minute segments and is followed by a 2-minute
cool-down segment. One speed setting and one
incline setting are pro-
grammed for each seg-
ment. The speed setting
for the first segment will
be shown in the flashing
Current Segment column
of the program display.
(The incline settings are
not shown in the program display.) The speed set-
tings for the remaining seven segments will be
shown in the seven columns to the right.
When the first 4-minute segment of the fitness test
program is completed, all speed settings will move
one column to the left and the Distance/Watts dis-
play will show an “L 2,” indicating that the second
4-minute segment has begun. The incline will then
adjust to 4% and the speed will increase to 2.5
mph. When the second 4-minute segment is com-
pleted, the speed settings will again move one
column to the left and the Distance/Watts display
will show an “L 3.” The incline will remain the
same, but the speed will then increase to 3.3 mph.
At the beginning of each 4-minute segment, the
speed and/or incline of the treadmill will automati-
cally increase. The fitness test program will con-
tinue in this way until your heart rate reaches 70%
of your estimated maximum heart rate, and the
current 4-minute segment is completed. The fit-
ness test program will then be completed, regard-
less of how many segments remain.
When the fitness test
program is completed,
the letter “C” will appear
in the Distance/Watts
display, indicating that
the 2-minute cool-down
segment has begun. The incline will then adjust to
1% and the speed will decrease to 1.2 mph.
