Calories, or Distance:

Press the Set key until the desired reading appears in the window
you are setting.
If the countdown mode is set for the Time, Calories, or Distance

dow has been chosen. Press the Set key until the desired reading

again once activity is returned.
Turn on the monitor by pressing any button or by beginning exer-
cise.
Monitoring Your Heart Rate
To obtain the greatest cardiovascular benefits from your exercise
workout, it is important to work within your target heart rate
zone. The American Heart Association (AHA) defines this target
as 60%-75% percent of your maximum heart rate.
Your maximum heart rate may be roughly calculated by subtract-
ing your age from 220. Your maximum heart rate and aerobic
capacity naturally decreases as you age. This may vary from one
person to another, but use this number to find your approximate
effective target zone. For example, the maximum heart rate for an
average 40 year-old is 180 bpm. The target heart rate zone is
60%-75% of 180 or 108-135 bpm. See Fitness Safety on page 16.
