Effectively measuring and Improving your physical health and fitness will extend your ‘active life’ and better protect you against heart diseases, cancers, diabetes, strokes and other life-threatening health conditions.
WHAT YOU NEED TO GET STARTED
1. WATTBIKE ATOM
Transform your fitness with the world’s smartest indoor bike
2. FREE WATTBIKE HUB
The free Wattbike Hub app with a complete profile including your weight, age and sex.
3. A HEART RATE STRAP
Make sure you track your sessions with a Polar Heart Rate Strap for the most accurate training results.
THE PROCESS
The Wattbike guarantee is based on a simple three step process of test, train and test again
STEP 1:
COMPLETE A HEALTH ASSESSMENT SUBMAX TEST
Within the free Wattbike Hub app you’ll need to complete the Health Assessment Submax Test to estimate your current fitness level - this will give you your cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) score – a measure of your physical health. This test gradually increases the power output until you reach a 7/10 effort on the Rate of Perceived Exertion Scale (RPE). A 7/10 effort is classed as borderline uncomfortable, short of breath but able to speak a sentence. Once you reach this level, you should stop the test.
The initial test result will estimate your cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) score as a measurement of fitness. Other metrics like MMP (maximum minute power) and estimated MHR (maximum heart rate) will also be automatically generated and used to create your training zones for the training plan.
STEP 2:
START YOUR TRAINING PLAN
Your CRF score from the test will determine which plan - there are four different plans all of which are 13 weeks long. These plans can be found on the Wattbike Hub app under Plans > Heath & Fitness Plans and are described below.
• Beginner 1- for those who have a CRF score of 30% or less – with little previous exercise / recovering from illness or injury. It consists of 3 workouts a week at lower intensities.
• Beginner 2 - for those with a CRF score of 50% or less who have undertaken moderate exercise, and/or recovering from illness or injury. It consists of 3 workouts a week at low to moderate intensities.
• Intermediate - for those with a CRF score of 70% or less, and have undertaken moderate to high intensity exercise, free from illness and injury. It consists of 4 workouts a week at low-moderate-high intensities.
• Advanced - for those with a CRF score of 70% or more – for experienced athletes who are free from injury and illness. It consists of 5 workouts a week at low-moderate-high intensities. If your CRF score is 80% or more, congratulations, you are probably optimising your CRF and working on utilisation of your fitness in your training – however, the money-back offer does not apply to you as you’re unlikely to improve your CRF score by 10%.
STEP 3:
RETEST
After completing your training plan you will need to complete another Health Assessment Submax test. Just like before, the power will ramp up until you get to 7 out of 10 on the RPE scale. Once you reach this level you must stop.
Like before, the test will generate a CRF score. If you have followed your plan, we guarantee you’ll see an increase of at least 10% in your CRF score.
