HOW TO USE THE FITNESS AGE CALCULATOR

The Fitness Age Calculator measures your approxi-
mate fitness age. Your fitness age is the average age
of someone at your fitness level.
For the most accurate results, use the Fitness Age
Calculator when you are not feeling tired, when you
have not eaten for at least two hours, and when you
have not exercised for at least 24 hours. Follow the
steps below to use the fitness test.
1. Put on the chest pulse sensor.
You must grip the handgrip pulse sensor or wear
the chest pulse sensor to use the Fitness Age
Calculator. For the most accurate results, wear
the chest pulse sensor. See page 13 for more in-
formation on the chest pulse sensor.
2. Insert the key into the console.
See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 16.
3. Select the Fitness Age Calculator.
To select the Fitness Age Calculator, press either
of the Set Gender buttons.
When the Fitness Age Calculator is selected, the
word FEMALE or MALE will appear on the screen.
Press the Male button or the Female button to se-
lect your gender, and then press the Start Fitness
Test button. Note: Pressing the Start Fitness Test
button at this time will not start the Fitness Age
Calculator. If you do not press the Start Fitness
Test button, the screen will advance to the next se-
lection in a few seconds.
Select your age, height, and weight by repeatedly
pressing the increase and decrease buttons for
each selection. Press the Start Fitness Test button
after each selection.
4. Press the Start Fitness Test button again to
start the fitness test.
A moment after you press the button, the treadmill
will automatically adjust to the first speed and in-
cline settings of the fitness test. Begin walking on
the treadmill. Note: For the most accurate results,
do not hold the handrails during the Fitness Age
Calculator.
During the fitness test, the speed and incline of the
treadmill will periodically change. The speed set-
ting or the incline setting will appear on the screen
to alert you before each change. IMPORTANT:
The Speed and Incline buttons will not function
during the fitness test. If you press the Stop
button, the fitness test will end.
The fitness test is designed to last for nine min-
utes. When the fitness test ends, the walking belt
will slow to a stop and your fitness age will appear
on the screen.

with the exercise information on the screen.
See step 5 on page 17.
