Workouts

The workout must be suitably light, but of long duration. Aerobic exercise is based on improving the body's maximum oxygen uptake, which in turn improves endurance and fitness. You should perspire, but you should not get out of breath during the workout.

To reach and maintain a basic fitness level, exercise at least three times a week, 30 minutes at a time. Increase the number of exercise sessions to improve your fitness level. It is worthwhile to combine regular exercise with a healthy diet. A person committed to dieting should exercise daily, at first 30 minutes or less at a time, gradually increasing the daily workout time to one hour. Start your workout at low speed and low resistance to prevent the cardiovascular system from being subjected to excessive strain. As the fitness level improves, speed and resistance can be increased gradually. The efficiency of your exercise can be measured by monitoring your heart rate and your pulse rate.

Heart rate measurement (heart rate chest belt)

WARNING

• If you have a pacemaker, consult a physician before using a heart rate chest belt.

CAUTION

• If there are several heart rate measurement devices next to each other, make sure that the distance between them is at least 1.5 metres.

• If there is only one heart rate receiver and several heart rate transmitters, make sure that only one person with a transmitter is within transmission range.

NOTE

• Always wear the heart rate chest belt under your clothes directly in contact with your skin. Do not wear the heart rate chest belt above your clothes. If you wear the heart rate chest belt above your clothes, there will be no signal.
• If you set a heart rate limit for your workout, an alarm will sound when it is exceeded.
• The transmitter transmits the heart rate to the console up to a distance of 1 metre. If the electrodes are not moist, the heart rate will not appear on the display.
• Some fibers in clothes (e.g. polyester, polyamide) create static electricity which can prevent accurate heart rate measurement.

• Mobile phones, televisions and other electrical appliances create an electromagnetic field which can prevent accurate heart rate measurement.

• Slightly moisten the electrodes on the transmitter belt with saliva or water.

• Fasten the transmitter with the belt just below the chest, firmly enough so that the electrodes are constantly touching the skin, but not so tight that you cannot breathe normally.
• Allow the electrodes to warm up properly to ensure accurate heart rate measurement.

Maximum heart rate (during training)

The maximum heart rate is the highest heart rate a person can safely achieve through exercise stress. The following formula is used to calculate the average maximum heart rate: 220 - AGE. The maximum heart rate varies from person to person.

WARNING

• Make sure that you do not exceed your maximum heart rate during your workout. If you belong to a risk group, consult a physician.

Beginner 50-60% of maximum heart rate		Suitable for beginners, weight-watchers, convalescents and persons who have not exercised for a long time. Exercise at least three times a week, 30 minutes at a time.
