Fit Test is a way of measuring the aerobic fitness level of an individual compared to others of the same age
and gender.
The Lifecycle Exercise Bike Fit Test Workout is another exclusive feature of this versatile exercise bike. 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. Think of it as your relative
fitness score. This measurement is generally regarded by physicians and exercise physiologists as the standard for
aerobic capacity. Use the Fit Test to monitor improvement in your endurance every four to six weeks.
Consult the Activity Levels chart below for the approximate effort level (L) at which you should take the Fit Test
based on your age, gender, and activity level. If your weight varies from these values substantially, you may wish to
increase or decrease the indicated levels accordingly. Use the Numeric Keys to enter the corresponding level.
NOTE: To receive a proper Fit Test score, you must be working within your training heart rate zone, which is 60%-
85% of your theoretical maximum heart rate (refer to Section 3).

After you have completed the five-minute Fit Test, use the Time Prompt to take your pulse and enter it with the
Numeric Keys. Your Fit Test score will be displayed, which you can use to find your ranking in the Fit Test scoring
tables below. 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.
