HEART RATE
No matter what your goal, you’ll get the best
results by training at the right level of effort, and
the best measure is your own heart rate.
PULSE MEASUREMENT WITH HAND GRIP
PULSE
Pulse measurement is based on the monitoring of
peripheral circulation. The handgrip sensors in the
handlebars take a pulse measurement when the
user is touching both sensors simultaneously. Pulse
measurement requires that the skin is constantly
touching the sensors and that the skin is slightly
moist.
First find your maximum heart rate i.e. where the
rate doesn’t increase with added effort. If you don’t
know your maximum heart rate, please use the
following formula as a guide:
220 - AGE
These are average values and the maximum varies
from person to person. The maximum heart-rate
diminishes on average by one point per year. If you
belong to a risk group, ask a doctor to measure
your maximum heart rate for you.
We have defined three different heart-rate zones to
help you with targeted training.
BEGINNER: 50-60 % of maximum heart-rate
Also suitable for weight-watchers, convalescents
and those who haven’t exercised for a long time.
Three sessions a week of at least a half-hour each
is recommended. Regular exercise considerably
improves beginners’ respiratory and circulatory
performance and you will quickly feel your
improvement.
TRAINER: 60-70 % of maximum heart-rate
Perfect for improving and maintaining fitness.
Even reasonable effort develops the heart and lungs
effectively, training for a minimum of 30 minutes
at least three times a week. To improve your
condition still further, increase either frequency or
effort, but not both at the same time!
ACTIVE TRAINER: 70-80 % of maximum heart-
rate
Exercise at this level suits only the fittest and
presupposes long-endurance workouts.
CONSOLE
The console is activated by pressing any of the
console keys. If the console is on but the device
is not in use, symbol P (Pause) will appear in
the top left hand corner of the console. During
that time,exercise can be continued after an
interruption without losing accumulated data. If
the console is not used for 5 minutes, it switches
automatically to the energy saving mode and resets
the accumulated values.
