MONITOR YOUR PROGRESS
Track yourself to determine how your overall health and fitness
improves. As your cardiovascular system improves your normal
resting heart rate will decrease. It will begin to take longer to reach
your target zone and it will be easier to keep your heart rate steady
during exercise. If you notice your resting heart rate higher than
normal you should take a rest from exercise or at least workout
easier that day. It may be an indication that your body has not
completely recovered from a previous extraneous workout or injury.
It could also be an indication of an illness coming on, stress, or a
good reason for a check up with your doctor.
ATTACHING YOUR HEART MONITOR
1. Attach the adjustable strap to one side of the transmitter. Push
the round tab of the belt clip through the back side of the attaching
hole on the transmitter and twist it into place (Fig. 1). The unique
angled clip is designed to prevent the belt from slipping down your
chest. It can be attached in either the up or down position (keeping
both the same). Depending on the contour of your torso, one direc-
tion may be more comfortable than the other.
