This starts the test. You cannot change the speed setting during the test. The display is the
same as described in "The Workout Display" in Chapter 3.
At the end of the test, the 800S Stepper displays your estimated VO2 Max, as described
above. Use the following table to interpret your score:

Fitness Test Reminders: To obtain an accurate assessment of your physical condition,
we suggest you consider a number of factors which may influence your heart rate when
planning your test
• amount of sleep the previous night
• amount of caffeine, alcohol, and/or nicotine consumed and the time elapsed since
consumption
• time of day of the test
• time since last meal
• time since last exercise
For best results, we suggest you perform the fitness test on three consecutive days
under similar conditions and average the three scores.
Custom Program
There are two steps to using a custom program: designing it and selecting it. You design it
once, using Setup Mode; you can then select it whenever you workout. A 800S Stepper can
have only one custom program saved at a time.
A custom program consists of up to 60 segments. You set the height for each segment when
you design the program, as described below. When you select your custom program during a
workout, the 800S Stepper divides the workout length you enter by the number of segments
to determine the length of each segment.
Designing a Custom Pr
ogram
1. Put the 800S Stepper into Setup mode by turning the stepper off, then holding down the
Switch Display key while turning it back on.
