Before the test
Make sure you are in good health; check with your physician before performing any
exercise if you are over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health conditions.
Make sure you have warmed up and stretched before taking the test.
Do not take in caffeine before the test.
Hold the hand grips gently, do not tense up.
During the test
The console must be receiving a steady heart rate for the test to begin. You may use
the hand pulse sensors or wear a heart rate chest strap transmitter.
You must maintain a steady 50 RPM pedal speed. If your pedal speed drops below 48
RPM or goes above 52 RPM the console will emit a steady beeping sound until you
are within this range.
You may scroll through the various data readings in the message window by pressing
the Display button under the Message Window.

maintain 50RPM.
