MANUAL gives you a 15 minute workout. The preprogrammed workouts last five
minutes for every thirty intervals. For example, a 60 interval program will last 10
minutes. All workout stats displayed at the end of a workout are based on a 175
lb. body weight.

[FIT TEST] program key on the 4400 PT/CL do not have a quick start option.

The Fit Test

The Fit Test is a program that estimates your maximal aerobic capacity based on
your heart rate response to submaximal exercise. Start the 4600 PT/CL Fit Test by
pressing [+ INCREASE], [3], [4], [8], [ENTER] while the console is in the ATTRACT
mode. Start the 4400 PT/CL Fit Test by pressing [FIT TEST], [ENTER] while the
console is in the ATTRACT mode. You will be prompted to enter your age and
gender after a short message is scrolled across the display.
Once you have entered the required information, you will step at the
rate of 43 steps per minute for three minutes. At the end of three minutes, you
will need to enter your heart rate (if you are wearing a heart rate transmitter and
using a 4600 PT/CL, or 4400 CL, your heart rate is entered automatically).
