Fitness Test Program

The Fitness Test measures the improvements of your physical fitness level. The test compares your power output (in Watts) to 

your heart rate. As your fitness level improves, your power output will increase at a given heart rate. 

 

  

Note:

 The Console must be able to read the heart rate information from the Contact Heart Rate (CHR) sensors or Heart 

Rate Monitor (HRM) to work correctly.

You can start the Fitness Test from the FEEDBACK category. The Fitness Test program first prompts you to select your fitness 
level—Beginner ( “BEG” ) or Advanced ( “ADV” ). The Console will use the Age and Weight values for the selected User Profile 
to calculate the Fitness Score.
Start to workout and hold the Heart Rate Sensors. When the test starts, the intensity of the workout slowly increases. This 
means you will work harder, and as a result, your heart rate increases. The intensity continues to increase automatically until 
your heart rate reaches the “Test Zone”. This zone is individually computed to be near 75 percent of the maximum heart rate 
of your User Profile. When you reach the Test Zone, the machine holds the intensity steady for 3 minutes. This lets you reach 
a stable condition (where your heart rate becomes steady). At the end of the 3 minutes, the Console measures your heart 

rate and the power output. These numbers, along with information about your age and weight, are computed to produce a 

“Fitness Score”.

 

Note:

   Fitness Test scores should only be compared to your previous scores and not to other User Profiles.

Compare your Fitness Scores to see your improvement.

Recovery Test Program

Recovery Test shows how quickly your heart recovers from an exercise state to a more restful state. Improved recovery is an 

indicator of increasing fitness. 

 

Note:

   The Console must be able to read the heart rate information from the Contact Heart Rate (CHR) sensors or Heart 

Rate Monitor (HRM) to work correctly.

From an elevated heart rate, select the Recovery Test Program. The Console will show “STOP EXERCISING” and the goal 
will begin to count down. Stop exercising but continue to grip the contact heart rate sensors. After 5 seconds, the display will 
show “RELAX” and will continue to count down to 00:00. For the entire minute the console will also show your heart rate. You 
must grip the heart rate sensors for the duration of the test if not using a Remote Heart Rate Monitor.

The display will continue to show “RELAX” and your heart rate until the goal reaches 00:00. The console will then calculate 

your recovery score.

Recovery Score = Your heart rate at 1:00 (the beginning of the test) minus your heart rate at 00:00 (the end of the test).

The higher the Recovery Test score value, the quicker your heart rate is returning to a more restful state and is an indication of 
improving fitness. By recording these values over time you can see the trend toward better health.

When you select the Recovery Test Program and there is no heart rate signal or display, the Console will show “NEED HEART 
RATE”. This message will show for 5 seconds. If no signal is detected, the program will end.

Helpful Tip: For a more relevant score, try to obtain a steady heart rate for 3 minutes before starting the Recovery Program. 
This will be easier to achieve, and obtain the best result, in the Manual program so you can control the levels of resistance.

Heart Rate Control (HRC) Workout Programs

The Heart Rate Control (HRC) programs let 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, and adjusts the workout to keep your heart rate in the selected zone.

 

  

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.
