Monitoring Your Heart Rate

HEART RATE HANDLEBAR
Place the palm of your hands directly on the heart rate handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for
your heart rate to register. When griping the handlebars, do not grip tightly. Holding the grips tightly
may elevate your blood pressure. Try to maintain moderate pressure while holding onto the heart rate
handlebars. It is recommended that you hold the handlebars only long enough to see your heart rate
readout on the console. You may experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the handlebars.
WARNING
WARNING!
The heart rate function is not a medical device. Various factors may affect the accuracy of your heart
rate reading. The heart rate reading is intended only as an exercise aid
