Remote Heart Rate Monitor

MonitoringyourHeartRateisoneofthebestprocedurestocontroltheintensityofyourexercise.TheConsolecanread

telemetryHRsignalsfromaHeartRateChestStrapTransmitterthatoperatesinthe4.5kHz-5.5kHzrange.

Note:TheheartratecheststrapmustbeanuncodedheartratestrapfromPolarElectrooranuncodedPOLAR™ com-

patible model. (Coded POLAR™ heart rate straps such as POLAR™ OwnCode™ chest straps will not work with

this equipment.)

If you have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, consult your doctor before using a wireless

chest strap or other telemetric heart rate monitor.

Heart Rate Calculations

Yourmaximumheartrateusuallydecreasesfrom220BeatsPerMinute(BPM)inchildhoodtoapproximately160BPMby

age60.Thisfallinheartrateisusuallylinear,decreasingbyapproximatelyoneBPMforeachyear.Thereisnoindication

thattraininginuencesthedecreaseinmaximumheartrate.Individualsofthesameagecouldhavedifferentmaximum

heartrates.Itismoreaccuratetondthisvaluebycompletingastresstestthanbyusinganagerelatedformula.

Yourat-restheartrateisinuencedbyendurancetraining.Thetypicaladulthasanat-restheartrateofapproximately72

BPM, where as highly trained runners may have readings of 40 BPM or lower.

The Heart Rate table is an estimate of what Heart Rate Zone (HRZ) is effective to burn fat and improve your cardiovas-

cular system. Physical conditions vary, therefore your individual HRZ could be several beats higher or lower than what is

shown.

Themostefcientproceduretoburnfatduringexerciseistostartataslowpaceandgraduallyincreaseyourintensityun-

tilyourheartratereachesbetween60–85%ofyourmaximumheartrate.Continueatthatpace,keepingyourheartrate

in that target zone for over 20 minutes. The longer you maintain your target heart rate, the more fat your body will burn.

The graph is a brief guideline, describing the generally suggested target heart rates based on age. As noted above, your

optimal target rate may be higher or lower. Consult your physician for your individual target heart rate zone.

Note:Aswithallexercisesandtnessregimens,alwaysuseyourbestjudgmentwhenyouincreaseyourexercise

time or intensity.
