There are limitations however. It may overestimate body fat in athletes and

others who have a muscular build. It may also underestimate body fat in

older persons and others who have lost muscle mass.

When choosing the BMI program you will be prompted to enter your height

and weight and the computer will calculate and display your Body Mass

Index. The console will display “IDEAL BMI RANGE”. The ideal or normal

range is 18.5 – 24.9. The console will also display your ideal weight range for

your height.

AND THE WEIGHT THAT IS APPROPRIATE FOR YOU.

Recovery Test:

Recovery Test shows how quickly your heart recovers from an exercise state to

a more restful state. Improved recovery is an indicator of increasing fitness.

For the console to perform the Recovery Test two things must happen. You

must press the RECOVERY button, AND, the console must be displaying

your heart rate. When both of these situations occur, then the console will

perform the Recovery Test.

The console will show “01:00 STOP” and the time will begin to count down.

Stop exercising but continue to grip the heart rate sensors. After 5 seconds,

the display will show “00:55 RELAX” and will continue to count down to

00:00. For the entire minute the console will also show your heart rate. You

must grip the heart rate sensors for the duration of the test.

The display will continue to show “RELAX” and your heart rate until the clock

counts down to 00:00. The console will then calculate your recovery score.

Recovery Score = Your heart rate at 1:00 (the beginning of the test) minus

your heart rate at 00:00 (the end of the test)

The display will show “SCORE (Recovery Score)”. This will remain on the

display for 5 seconds; then you can press RESULTS to view a summary of

your workout and end the program you are working out in, or press START

to resume working out where you left off.

The higher the Recovery Test score value, the quicker your heart rate is returning

to a more restful state and is an indication of improving fitness. By recording

these values over time you can see the trend toward better health!
