9. Fit Test Workout (All Levels)
*Chest strap must be worn to execute the workout.
Access: This workout can be started by using the ADVANCED WORKOUTS button to scroll to the FIT TEST work-
out profile and pressing ENTER.
Description: The FIT TEST workout estimates cardiovascular fitness and can be used to monitor improvements in
endurance every four to six weeks. The user must grasp the hand sensors (if equipped) when prompted, or wear a
Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap as the test score calculation is based on a heart rate reading. The Fit Test is
considered to be a submax VO2 (volume of oxygen) test. It gauges how well the heart supplies oxygenated blood to
the exercising muscles and how efficiently those muscles receive oxygen from the blood. Physicians and exercise
physiologists generally regard this test as a good measure of aerobic capacity. Please note that the estimated VO2
max scores achieved will be 10 percent to 15 percent lower on stationary exercise bikes than those achieved on
other Life Fitness cardiovascular equipment. Stationary cycling has a higher rate of isolated muscle fatigue of the
quadriceps when compared to walking/running on a treadmill, climbing on a stairclimber, or utilizing a bike. This high-
er rate of fatigue corresponds to lower levels of estimated VO2 max scores.
Goal: The goal of the FIT TEST workout is to elevate the user’s hear rate to a level that is between 60% - 85% of
their theoretical maximum heart rate.
Suggested Exertion Levels
Note (treadmills only): The workout duration will be five minutes total with a one minute warm-up at 0% incline
followed by four additional minutes at a 5% incline. Immediately afterward, the console will take the user's heart
rate reading, calculate a fitness score and display the score in the MESSAGE CENTER.
After the five-minute FIT TEST is completed, a FIT TEST score and rating will be displayed.Within each suggested
range, these additional guidelines can be used:
* In cases of excessive weight, use lower half of range
The computer will not accept:
• heart rates less than 52 or greater than 200 beats per minute
• body weights less than 75 pounds (34 kg) or greater than 400 pounds (181 kg)
• ages below 10 or over 99 years
• data input that exceeds human potential
