During the Workout
1. During the heart rate controlled workout, the treadmill will respond every 20 seconds to your heart rate. The treadmill
uses your heart rate to adjust the intensity of the workout. The treadmill will adjust speed and (if necessary) incline to
elevate your heart rate to the specified upper limit, then it will gradually decrease incline and (if necessary) speed to
lower your heart rate to the specified lower limit. A typical 20 minute workout may repeat this pattern 3 to 5 times.
2. The program will display various motivational and informative messages throughout the workout. After the workout is
complete, the program will scroll the summary workout information.
3. If, for any reason, the treadmill does not detect your heart rate signal, the treadmill will gradually decrease the workout
intensity. After the heart rate signal is re-acquired the interval training program will resume.
COOLDOWN CYCLE
Once you have completed your workout program, the treadmill enters a 2-minute cooldown cycle.

The Fit Test is a modified version of the Balke and Ware protocol for maximal VO2 treadmill testing. The Fit Test requires 12 min-
utes to complete. During the Fit Test, treadmill speed remains at a constant 3.4 mph. Treadmill incline is set at 0% during the
first minute, increases to 2% during the second minute, and increases by 1% per minute for the remainder of the test. Your heart
rate results are compared with charted data for your corresponding age and gender. Test results are given on a scale of 1 to 10,
and include your calculated VO2 max. VO2 max is a physiological measurement of a bodies ability to absorb oxygen and has spe-
cific correlation to your fitness level.
