Tips for Recording Strength Training Activities
• Do not look at the device while performing reps.
You should interact with the device at the beginning and end of each set, and during rests.
• Focus on your form while performing reps.
• Perform bodyweight or free weight exercises.
• Perform reps with a consistent, wide range of motion.
Each rep is counted when the arm wearing the device returns to the starting position.
NOTE: Leg exercises may not be counted.
• Turn on automatic set detection to start and stop your sets.
• Save and send your strength training activity to your Garmin Connect account.
You can use the tools in your Garmin Connect account to view and edit activity details.
Outdoor Activities
The Forerunner device comes preloaded with outdoor activities, such as running and cycling. GPS is turned on
for outdoor activities. You can add new activities based on default activities, such as walking or rowing. You
can also add custom activities to your device (Creating a Custom Activity, page 7).
Going for a Track Run
Before you go for a track run, make sure you are running on a standard-shape, 400m track.
You can use the track run activity to record your outdoor track data including distance in meters and lap splits.

9 Select BACK twice to return to the timer page.
10 Select START.
11 Run around the track.
After you run a couple of laps, your device records the track dimensions and calibrates your track distance.

Tips for Recording a Track Run
• Wait until the GPS status indicator turns green before starting a track run.
• During your first run on an unfamiliar track, run for a minimum of 4 laps to calibrate your track distance.
You should run slightly past your starting point to complete the lap.
• Run each lap in the same lane.
NOTE: The default Auto Lap
®
distance is 1600 m, or 4 laps around the track.
• If you are running a lane other than lane 1, set the lane number in the activity settings.
