HOW TO USE A FITNESS TEST WORKOUT

The fitness test workouts measure your relative fitness 

level. For the most accurate results, use a fitness test 

workout when you are not feeling tired, when you have 

not eaten for at least two hours, and when you have not 

exercised for at least 24 hours. 

The treadmill features three fitness workouts. The 

Ebbeling Fitness Test measures VO

2

 max, or aerobic 

capacity, and lasts 9 minutes. The Gerkin Fitness Test 

also measures VO

2

 max. The Gerkin Fitness Test 

begins with a three-minute warm-up period and ends 

after either 14 minutes or when you reach a certain 

heart rate. The FreeMotion Fitness Test measures 

your fitness level on a scale of 1 to 10. The FreeMotion 

Fitness Test ends after either 28 minutes or when you 

reach a certain heart rate.

 1.  

Put on the chest heart rate monitor. 

    To use a fitness test, you must wear the chest 

heart rate monitor or use the handgrip heart rate 

monitor. Note: For best results, you should wear the 

chest heart rate monitor.

 2.   Insert the key into the console. 

   See step 1 on page 15. 

 3.   Select a fitness test workout.

  

To select a fitness test workout, press the Fitness 

Tests button repeatedly until the name of the 

desired fitness test appears in the display.  

   Press the Enter button to select the desired work-

out. Select your age and then your weight using the 

increase and decrease buttons next to the Enter 

button. Press the Enter button after each selec-

tion. Note: To use the Ebbeling Fitness Test, you 

must also enter your gender.

 4.   Press the Start/Stop button to start the workout.

 

   A moment after you press the Start/Stop but-

ton, the treadmill will automatically adjust to the 

first speed and incline settings of the fitness test. 

Begin walking on the treadmill. Note: For the most 

accurate results, do not hold the handrails during a 

fitness test workout.

 

 During the workout, the speed and incline of the 

treadmill will periodically change. The speed setting 

or the incline setting will appear in the display to 

alert you before each change. IMPORTANT: The 

Speed and Incline buttons will not function dur-

ing a fitness test workout. 

 

 Note: If you press the Start/Stop button during the 

fitness test, the fitness test will end.

   When the workout ends, the walking belt will slow 

to a stop and your fitness level or VO

2

 max will ap-

pear in the display. 

    If your pulse is not detected during the workout, the 

words CHECK HEART RATE MONITOR will ap-

pear in the display and the speed of the treadmill 

may automatically decrease. If your pulse is still not 

detected, the fitness test will be aborted. 

 5.  

Select a display mode and monitor your prog-

ress with the display. 

   See step 4 on page 18. Note: The fitness tests will 

display your fitness level instead of your exercise 

intensity in METs. The console may display a "W" 

when you are warming up or a "C" when you are 

cooling down.

6.  Turn on the fan if desired.

  See step 7 on page 17.

7.   When you are finished exercising, remove the 

key from the console.

   See step 8 on page 17.
