Guidelines
Before selecting the Fitness Test, read the following
guidelines:
• Sit and rest for at least five minutes prior to taking the test
to bring your heart rate to a resting state.
• The fitness score is affected by your weight, age, and
gender. You must enter this data during the setup
phase. Prompts appear after selecting program FITN.
• You must wear the chest strap throughout the test.
• The arrow keys are disabled during the test. Any pressure
on the arrow keys is ignored.
Warm-up Period
When you access the fitness test, the following occurs:
• A gender prompt appears. Use the arrow keys to toggle
between gender selection and then press ENTER.
• The EFX provides a warm-up period before beginning the
5-minute fitness test. The warm-up period has a time limit
of 25 minutes. Instructions appear and direct you to pedal
at a constant stride rate of 70 strides per minute. The
pace is increased until your heart rate reaches 55% of the
maximum heart rate (220 minus your age) or the pace
reaches 160 strides per minute. In either case, the fitness
test commences at this point.
