TEST EQUATION AND APPROVED STATIONARY BIKES//

RMKS/1.  THIS NAVADMIN ANNOUNCES A CHANGE TO THE 12-MINUTE STATIONARY 
BIKE TEST EQUATION AND LISTS APPROVED STATIONARY BIKES.

CYCLE 1, 2011.  THE CHANGE ADJUSTS THE EQUATION USED TO CONVERT 
CALORIES BURNED ON THE STATIONARY BIKE INTO A PREDICTED 1.5 MILE RUN 
TIME.  THE REVISED EQUATION WILL MORE ACCURATELY CALCULATE OUTSTANDING 
PERFORMANCE AND WILL REQUIRE THE PARTICIPANT TO BURN MORE CALORIES TO 
ACHIEVE A PROBATIONARY OR SATISFACTORY SCORE THAN UNDER THE CURRENT 
EQUATION.

FITNESS 95CI STATIONARY BIKE IS NO LONGER BEING MANUFACTURED AND HAS 
BEEN SUPERCEDED BY THE LIFE FITNESS CLASSIC SERIES.  THE LIFE FITNESS 
CLASSIC SERIES HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE ONLINE PHYSICAL READINESS
