Before the Gerkin/WFI test:
• Make sure you are in good health; check with your physician before
performing any exercise if you are over the age of 35 or persons with
pre-existing health conditions.
• Make sure you have warmed up and stretched before taking the
test.
• Do not take in caffeine before the test.
• Hold the hand grips gently if you don't wear your wireless chest
strap transmitter, do not tense up.
During the test
• The console must be receiving a steady heart rate for the test to
begin. You may use the hand pulse sensors or wear a heart rate
chest strap transmitter, although chest strap transmitter is
recommended.
• The test will start with a 3-minute warm-up at 3 MPH (4.8 km/hr)
before the actual test begins.
After the test
• Cool down for about one to three minutes.
• Take note of your score because the console will automatically
return to the start-up mode after a few minutes.
