G Fitness test (TEST)
The measurement of your heart recovery rate serves as indi-
cation of your physical and athletic condition. The faster
your heart rate returns to its normal rate after the exercise
(heart recovery rate), the "fi tter" you are.
After your completed workout, press the TEST button to
start the fi tness test.
Then place your hands immediately back on the hand pulse
sensors. After 60 seconds, the computer will show the result
of the measured heart recovery rate as school grades:
F 1.0 = Very good to F 6.0 = unsatisfactory
It is advisable to work out consistently to improve your
heart recovery rate to the value F 1.0.
To return to the programme selection, press the TEST button
again.

calculated from the square of the body size. The BMI is me-
rely a rough estimate, as it considers neither the stature and
gender nor the individual composition of the body mass of
fat and muscle tissue of a human.
