Fitness Test Program

The Fitness Test measures the improvements to your physical fitness level. The test compares your power output (in watts) to your heart rate. As your fitness level improves, your power output will increase at a given heart rate.

Note: The Console must be able to read the heart rate information from the Contact Heart Rate (CHR) sensors or Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) to work correctly.

You can start the Fitness Test from the FEEDBACK category. The Fitness Test program first prompts you to select your fitness level-Beginner ("BEG") or Advanced ("ADV"). The Console will use the Age and Weight values for the selected User Profile to calculate the Fitness Score.

Start to work out and hold the Heart Rate Sensors. When the test starts, the intensity of the workout slowly increases. This means you will work harder, and as a result, your heart rate increases. The intensity continues to increase automatically until your heart rate reaches the "Test Zone". This zone is individually computed to be near 75 percent of the maximum heart rate of your User Profile. When you reach the Test Zone, the machine holds the intensity steady for 3 minutes. This lets you reach a stable condition (where your heart rate becomes steady). At the end of the 3 minutes, the Console measures your heart rate and the power output. These numbers, along with information about your age and weight, are computed to produce a "Fitness Score".

Note: Fitness Test scores should only be compared to your previous scores and not to other User Profiles. Compare your Fitness Scores to see your improvement.

Recovery Test Program

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.

Note: The Console must be able to read the heart rate information from the Contact Heart Rate (CHR) sensors or Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) to work correctly.

From an elevated heart rate, select the Recovery Test Program. The Console will show "STOP EXERCISING" and the goal will begin to count down. Stop exercising but continue to grip the contact heart rate sensors. After 5 seconds, the display will show "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 if not using a Remote Heart Rate Monitor.

The display will continue to show "RELAX" and your heart rate until the goal reaches 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 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.

When you select the Recovery Test Program and there is no heart rate signal or display, the Console will show "NEED HEART RATE". This message will show for 5 seconds. If no signal is detected, the program will end.

Helpful Tip: For a more relevant score, try to obtain a steady heart rate for 3 minutes before starting the Recovery Program. This will be easier to achieve, and obtain the best result, in the Manual program so you can control the levels of resistance.

Heart Rate Control (HRC) Workout Programs

The Heart Rate Control (HRC) programs let you set a heart rate goal for your workout. The program monitors your heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) from the Contact Heart Rate (CHR) sensors on the machine or from a Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) chest strap, and adjusts the workout to keep your heart rate in the selected zone.

Note: The console must be able to read the heart rate information from the CHR sensors or HRM for the HRC program to work correctly.

The Target Heart Rate programs use your age and other User information to set the Heart Rate Zone values for your workout. The console display then gives prompts for you to set up your workout:

1. Select the Heart Rate Control workout level: BEGINNER ("BEG") or ADVANCED ("ADV") and push OK.
2. Push the Increase [▲] or Decrease [▼] buttons to select the percentage of maximum heart rate: 50–60%, 60–70%, 70–80%, 80–90%.

• WORKOUT PAUSED
• PEDAL TO CONTINUE (if a bike) / STRIDE TO CONTINUE (if an elliptical)
• PUSH END TO STOP

During a paused workout, you can use the Increase/Decrease buttons to move through the result channels manually.

1. Stop pedaling and push the PAUSE/END button to pause your workout.
2. To continue your workout, push OK or start pedaling.

To stop the workout, push the PAUSE/END button. The Console will go into Results / Cool Down mode.

Results / Cool Down Mode

After a workout the GOAL display shows 03:00 and then starts to count down. During this Cool Down period, the Console shows the Workout Results. All workouts except Quick Start have a 3-minute Cool Down period.

The LCD display shows the Current Workout values in three channels:

• a.) TIME (total), DISTANCE (total), and CALORIES (total)
• b.) SPEED (average), RPM (average), and HEART RATE (average)
• c.) TIME (average), LEVEL (average), and CALORIES (average).

Push the Left [◀] or Right [▶] buttons to move through the result channels manually.

During the Cool Down period, the Resistance Level will adjust to a third of the average Level of the workout. The Cool Down resistance level can be adjusted with the Resistance Increase and Decrease buttons, but the Console will not display the value.

You can push PAUSE/END to stop the Results / Cool Down period and go back to Power-Up Mode. If there is no RPM or HR signal, the Console automatically goes into Sleep Mode.

GOAL TRACK Statistics (and Achievements)

The statistics from every workout are recorded to a User Profile.

The Nautilus Dual Track™™ Console shows the Goal Track workout Statistics on the Lower Display in three channels:

• a.) TIME (total), DISTANCE (total), and CALORIES (total)
• b.) SPEED (average), RPM (average), and HEART RATE (average)
• c.) TIME (average), DISTANCE (average) / or LEVEL (average) *, and CALORIES (average)

The BMI Measurement is a useful tool that shows the relationship between weight and height that is associated with body fat and health risk. The table below gives a general rating for the BMI score:

Note: The rating 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.
