- Cardiovascular Fitness - Harvard Step Test
- Using a 45cm step, do 30 step-ups a minute for 5 minutes.
- Rest for 1 minute, then take your pulse for 15 seconds then multiply this by 4 to get your heart rate.
- Then use the formula (length of exercise in seconds x 100/ 5.5 x pulse count) to work out your score. The higher your score, the fitter you are.
