HEART RATE MONITORING
Heart rate monitoring allows you to determine if your workout is too challenging or not challenging enough. Monitoring heart rate is easy
with the
STAR TRAC TOTAL BODY TRAINER
. You may use a heart rate strap (not provided with the TOTAL BODY TRAINER), or you can
simply grasp the silver contact heart rate grips.
NOTE: The Heart Rate monitor is not a medical test, nor is it designed as a medical test. It is simply a guide to target heart rate training.
Please consult with your physician prior to engaging in any strenuous physical activity.
NOTE: If both the heart rate grips and a heart rate strap (not provided with the TOTAL BODY TRAINER) are being used, the heart rate
grips will override and be displayed in the HR window.

ance varies, based on a user's physiology, fitness level, age, method of use and other factors. Furthermore, the heart rate system is not for
medical use.
