Resting in the morning I'm 100/60 and currently a little under 60 bpm.

The name tends to give us false expectation about it.
I think I too had a BP cuff on as well as full EKG electrodes and maybe an oximeter on the finger when I did mine, but the test was over before I even began to feel like I was making any effort.
Essentially I think they just want to see that a few points of measure react predictably to the increasing speed of the treadmill or whatever you perform it on. They aren't as concerned with how superhuman we might be! <grin>
