The Lifecycle Exercise Bike Fit Test Workout is another exclusive feature of this versatile exercise bike. Your Fit
Test score is also an approximate measure of your VO2 max; think of it as your relative fitness score. Use the Fit
Test to monitor improvement in your endurance every four to six weeks.
•
After selecting the Fit Test Workout using the Up/Down Keys, the Message Center will ask for your age
(ENTER AGE). Use the Up/Down Keys to input your age and press Enter Key.
•
After entering your age, you will be asked for your weight (SELECT WEIGHT). Use the Up/Down Keys to input
your weight and press Enter Key.
•
After entering your weight, the Message Center will prompt you to select your gender (SELECT GENDER).
Press the Up/Down Keys to do so, up for male or down for female and then press Enter Key.
•
After selecting a gender the Message Center will prompt you to select a workout level (SELECT LEVEL).
Consult the Activity Levels chart on the following page for the effort level you should input based on your age,
gender, and activity level. Use the Up/Down Keys to enter the corresponding level.
After having completed the five-minute Fit Test, you will be prompted to grasp the LifePulse Sensors
(C9i/R9i models), or your heart rate will be automatically entered from your heart rate chest strap by the on-board
computer (C7i/R7i models). To enter heart rate manually, use the Time prompt to take your pulse and enter it with
the Up/Down Keys. The Fit Test score will be displayed, which you can use to find your ranking in the Fit Test
scoring tables located in this section.
NOTE: Mileage readings are arbitrary and should not be used to compare workouts in different programs. Total
calories burned is the best measure of the amount of work performed in any given workout.

NOTE: If your weight varies from these values substantially, you may wish to increase or decrease the indicated
levels accordingly.
If your heart rate is below 65% of your theoretical maximum heart rate at the conclusion of the Fit Test, retake the
test at a higher level.
The Fit Test is an estimate of your VO2 max, which is a measurement of how well the heart supplies oxygenated
blood to the exercising muscles and how efficiently those muscles receive oxygen from the blood. This
measurement is generally regarded by physicians and exercise physiologists as the standard for aerobic capacity.
