If you want to measure your heart rate this way
during your workout, moisten the grooved
electrodes on the transmitter belt with saliva or
water. Fasten the transmitter just below the chest
with the elastic belt, firmly enough so that the
electrodes remain in contact with the skin while
exercising, but not so tight that normal breathing
is prevented. Attach the transmitter and adjust the
flexible belt to an appropriate tightness below chest
level so that the electrodes are in contact with the
skin during exercise. If you wear the transmitter
and belt over a light shirt, moisten the shirt slightly
at the points where the electrodes touch the shirt.
The transmitter automatically transmits the heart
rate reading to the console up to a distance of
about 1 m.
If the electrode surfaces are not moist, the heart-
rate reading will not appear on the display. If the
electrodes are dry, they must be moistened again.
Allow the electrodes warm up properly to ensure
accurate heart rate measurement. The transmitter
is switched to an active state only when it is being
used for measurement. Sweat and other moisture
can, however, keep the transmitter in an active state
and waste battery energy. Therefore it is important
to dry the electrodes carefully after use.
When selecting training attire, please note
that some fibers used in clothes (e.g. polyester,
polyamide) create static electricity, which may
prevent reliable heart rate measurement. Please
note that a mobile phone, television and other
electrical appliances form an electromagnetic field
around them, which will cause problems in heart
rate measurement.
ROWING MOTION
Tighten the footstraps. Take a grip on the bar and
start the rowing stroke by leaning slightly forward,
with the knees bent and the arms straight. Push
yourself backwards straightening your back and
your legs simultaneously. Continue the movement
until you lean slightly backwards and flex your
armsat the same time. Return to the starting
position, lean forward and straighten your arms.
BICEPS (ELBOW FLEXORS)
You can develop the biceps while rowing by taking
an undergrasp of the bar or in the following way:
grasp the bar from underneath, keep your knees
straight and your feet under the footstraps. Begin
the movement with your arms straight. Bend your
arms. You can also develop your biceps by standing
in front of the device, grasping either over or under
the bar and bending your arms .
