General Information For Training - Beurer PM 25 Operating Instructions Manual

3. General information for training

This heart rate monitor serves to measure the human pulse. By means of various settings,
you can support your individual training program and monitor your pulse. You should moni-
tor your pulse during exercise because you should prevent your heart from excessive strain
on the one hand and on the other in order to achieve the optimal training results. The table
provides you with some information on the selection of your training zone. The maximum
heart rate reduces with advancing age. Information on the training heart rate must there-
fore always be in relation to the maximum heart rate. The following rule of thumb is used
for the identification of the maximum heart rate:
220 - age = maximum heart rate
The following example applies to a 40-year-old person: 220-40 = 180
