Precor 5.33 User Manual

Before selecting the Fitness Test, read the following 
guidelines:

• Sit and rest for at least five minutes prior to taking the test 

to bring your heart rate to a resting state.

• The fitness score is affected by your weight, age, and 

gender. You must enter this data during the setup 
phase. Prompts appear after selecting program FITN. 

• You must wear the chest strap throughout the test.

• The arrow keys are disabled during the test. Any pressure 

on the arrow keys is ignored.

When you access the fitness test, the following occurs:

• A gender prompt appears. Use the arrow keys to toggle 

between gender selection and then press ENTER.

• The EFX provides a warm-up period before beginning the 

5-minute fitness test. The warm-up period has a time limit 
of 25 minutes. Instructions appear and direct you to pedal 
at a constant stride rate of 70 strides per minute. The 
pace is increased until your heart rate reaches 55% of the 
maximum heart rate (220 minus your age) or the pace 
reaches 160 strides per minute. In either case, the fitness 
test commences at this point.
