WORKOUT INSTRUCTIONS Heart-rate measuring Telemetric heart rate measuring This rowing machine is already equipped with a heart rate receiver as standard. Using a chest strap makes it possible for you to have a wireless heart rate measuring. This optimal and ECG-precise type of measuring reads the heart rate directly from the skin through a transmitting chest strap.
Page 25
Example: For a 45-year-old man or woman, the maximum heart rate is 175 (220 - 45 = 175). • The fat burning target zone (55%) is at approximately 96 beats/min. = (220 - age) x 0.55. • The cardio target zone (75%) is at approximately 131 beats/min. = (220 - age) x 0.75.
