MONITOR YOUR PROGRESS
THE ANAEROBIC ZONE: 85% TO MAX HR
Track yourself to determine how your overall health and fitness
improves and become aware of your various heart rate levels. As
your cardiovascular system improves, your normal resting heart rate
will decrease. It will take longer to reach your target zone, it will take
less and less time for your heart rate to come back down after
working out.
If you ever notice your resting heart rate to be higher than usual, it
may be a good idea to take a rest from exercise, or at least workout
easier that day, Similarly, if you notice that your heart rate doesnt
come back down as quickly as usual at the end of your workout, it
could be an indication that your workout was more (or too)
strenuous, or that you havent recovered well enough from a
previous extraneous workout or injury. These signals in your heart
rate could also be an indication of an illness coming on, stress, or a
good reason for a check up with your doctor.
To be used by ultra-athletes only and never recommended
without close medical approval or supervision. This range is
used only by those in extremely good physical condition during
races or training for competition. It is typically used for interval train-
ing (or short sprints) to help improve or measure endurance levels.
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
direction may be more comfortable than the other.
