TRAINING INFORMATION
HOW THE HEART RATE MONITOR HELPS YOU
A heart rate monitor is the most important tool in
cardiovascular health and an ideal training partner. It enables
you to see and monitor results. This helps you assess your
past performance, maximize your work out and adapt your
future exercise program to achieve your desired goals in a
safer and more effective way.
When you exercise, the chest belt picks up your heartbeat
and sends it to the watch. Now you can view your heart rate
and start monitoring your performance based on your heart
rate readings. As you get fitter, your heart will need to do
less work and the speed of your heart rate will decrease. The
reason for this is as follows:
Your heart pumps blood to your lungs to obtain oxygen.
Then, the oxygen rich blood will travel to your muscles. The
oxygen is used as fuel and the blood leaves the muscles and
returns to the lungs to begin the process again. As you get
fit, your heart is able to pump more blood with every beat. As
a result, your heart doesn’t have to beat as often to get the
necessary oxygen to your muscles.
