page 33 Important : Six stages ( 3 minute intervals) comprise the Fitness Test. The number of stages you complete is dependent on your level of fitness. Do not be alarmed if you do not complete all six stages; this is normal. However, you must complete at least two stages to receive a fitness score.
page 34 Using the Weight Loss Program The Weight Loss program uses the Smart Rate ® system and incorporates the results of the Cooper Institute’s latest research on weight loss and control. It’s designed to help you burn the most calories during a 28-minute workout, while minimizing the risk of discomfort and injury.
page 35 Troubleshooting Heart Rate Error Messages While you are performing the cardiovascular courses, situations can arise that cause certain messages to scroll across the M9.25i display. These messages indicate that a problem has occurred and briefly explain what to do to correct the situation.
page 36 Message : “ SORRY—INCONSISTENT DATA” “PLEASE RETAKE TEST AT A LATER TIME ” Description : The software calculated your fitness test score to be equal or greater than 80. This score is nearly impossible to attain under ideal circumstances.
page 37 To help you get started in planning and carrying out your fitness program, this section provides some basic information on aerobic exercise—such as how hard you should work out, how long each session should be, and how often you need to exercise to benefit from a regular program.
page 38 Diagram 16 shows your recommended heart rate training zone, which is calculated using your age and your maximum aerobic heart rate. Your maximum aerobic heart rate is equal to 220 minus your age. The chart is based on a resting heart rate of about 72 for males and 80 for females.
page 39 How Long Should I Exercise? The length of each exercise session depends on your fitness level. Exercise physiologists have determined that, to attain cardiovascular benefits from exercise, you should maintain your heart rate in its training zone for at least 15 minutes.
