• Some Electrocardiogram (EKG) signals generated by individuals are not strong enough to be detected by the sensors.
• The proximity of other electronic machines can generate interference.
If your heart rate signal ever seems erratic after validation, wipe off your hands and the sensors and try again.

Your maximum heart rate usually decreases from 220 Beats Per Minute (BPM) in childhood to approximately 10 BPM by
age 0. This fall in heart rate is usually linear, decreasing by approximately one BPM for each year. There is no indication
that training inÀuences 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 inÀuenced by endurance training. The typical adult has an at rest heart rate of approximately 72
BPM, whereas 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
until your heart rate reaches between 0 ± 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.
