TRAINING INFORMATION

HOW THE HEART RATE MONITOR HELPS YOU

A heart rate monitor is the most important tool in cardiovascular
health and an ideal training partner. It enables you to see and
monitor results. This helps you assess your past performance,
maximise your work out and adapt your future exercise program
to achieve your desired goals in a safer and more effective way.
When you exercise, the chest belt picks up your heartbeat and
sends it to the watch. Now you can view your heart rate and start
monitoring your performance based on your heart rate readings.
As you get fitter, your heart will need to do less work and the
speed of your heart rate will decrease. The reason for this is as
follows:
• Your heart pumps blood to your lungs to obtain oxygen. Then,
the oxygen rich blood will travel to your muscles. The oxygen
is used as fuel and the blood leaves the muscles and returns
to the lungs to begin the process again. As you get fit, your
heart is able to pump more blood with every beat. As a result,
your heart doesn't have to beat as often to get the necessary
oxygen to your muscles.

TRAINING TIPS

To gain the maximum benefit from your training program, and to
ensure that you exercise safely, please observe the following
guidelines:
• Start with a well-defined training goal, such as to lose weight,
keep fit, improve health or compete in a sporting event.
• Select a training activity you enjoy, and vary your training
activities to exercise different muscle groups.
