Fitness Test Tips
Read through the following tips before selecting the Fitness
Test.
• Sit and rest for at least five minutes prior to taking the test.
• You must enter your weight, age, and gender.
• You can change to another program while in the midst of
taking the Fitness Test, but you will not receive a fitness
score.
• If you press the RESET key during the test, the test ends
and the display indicates whether the test was completed.
Important: If you need to stop the pedaling to regain
control or reduce your heart rate, please do so. You can
retake the fitness test later.
Fitness Test Scores
The display prompts you to begin a cool down period when
you finish the Fitness Test. A fitness score and a fitness level
appear on the display as part of the workout summary and
relate to the tables shown below.
Note: A fitness score appears only if you complete at least
two stages of the test.
