Fitness Test
The Fitness Test measures the improvements of your physical fitness level. The test compares your power output (in Watts) to your
heart rate. As you become more fit, you will produce more power (Watts) at a given heart rate.
Note:
The console must be able to read the heart rate information from the CHR sensors or HRM for the HRC
program to work correctly.
If you go to the HRC program from your User profile, the Target Heart Rate program uses your age and other user setup information
to set the Heart Rate Zone values for your workout. If you are a Guest User, you must enter your age and weight. The console
display then gives prompts for you to set up your workout:
1. Set the workout level: FIT (beginner) or GETTING FIT (advanced).
2. The workout starts from level 1 and increases as the timer counts up from 00:00, until your heart rate is
in the “Test Zone” (75% of your calculated maximum heart rate).
3. When you are in the Test Zone, the machine holds the Watts steady for 3 minutes. The timer counts
down from 3:00.
4. The console measures your heart rate and power output (Watts) to calculate your Fitness Score.
Note:
Fitness Test scores should only be compared to your previous scores and not other users.
Over time, you will output more Watts of power at a specified Heart Rate. Compare your Fitness Scores to see your improvement.
Heart Rate Control (HRC) Program
The Heart Rate Control (HRC) program lets you set a heart rate goal for your workout. The program monitors your heart rate in beats
per minute (BPM) from the Contact Heart Rate (CHR) sensors on the machine or from a Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) chest strap.
Note:
The console must be able to read the heart rate information from the CHR sensors or HRM for the HRC
program to work correctly.
If you go to the HRC program from your User profile, the Target Heart Rate program uses your age and other user setup information
to set the Heart Rate Zone values for your workout. If you are a Guest User, you must enter your age and weight. The console
display then gives prompts for you to set up your workout:
1. Set the workout level: FIT (beginner) or GETTING FIT (advanced).
2. Set the percentage of maximum heart rate: 60–70%, 70–80%, 80–90%.
Consult a physician before you start to exercise in the 80–90% heart rate zone.
3. Set the Time for the workout. (The default value is 10:00.)
