The FITNESS TEST program is designed to estimate
the relative fitness level you have achieved. For the
best results, the FITNESS TEST program should be
used at a time when your energy level is high; the pro-
gram should not be used if you have already exercised
during the day.
The FITNESS TEST program consists of up to seven 4-
minute periods and is followed by a 2-minute cool-down
period. The speed and/or incline of the treadmill will au-
tomatically increase at the beginning of each 4-minute
period. When your heart rate reaches 70% of your max-
imum possible heart rate, the FITNESS TEST will end.
After the 2-minute cool-down period, the console will
display your estimated fitness level.
To use the program, follow the steps below.
Insert the key into the console.
