Wearing Wireless Chest Strap - PaceMaster Pro-Plus HR Manual

your heart rate in the training zone. The goal for this segment is 30 - 60
minutes in duration. Initially the time should be less than 30 minutes, but
as your fitness level increases, the time in the training zone can increase,
depending on how briskly you walk or run. You should gradually work up
to the 30 - 60 minute goal.
• Following your main routine it is important to slow down gradually. This allows
your body to relax at a safe rate. Abrupt stopping can cause dizziness and
other non-beneficial effects.
We, at Aerobics Inc., realize the importance of a warm up and cool down. Therefore
you may add an automatic 5 minute warm up and cool down to your workout by simply
pressing the warm up/cool down button on the control panel prior to beginning your workout.
• How often should I exercise?
Exercise 3 or 4 times per week to achieve and then maintain your desired fitness level. Exercising less than 3 or 4 times per week decreases the
benefits and slows progress. An every other day schedule works best.
• Is there a limit to the benefits of exercising?
That depends on the benefits you are aiming to achieve. Anything more than 30 minutes daily of very vigorous exercise, or 60 minutes daily of
moderately vigorous exercise, results in little added conditioning of your heart and lungs. If your goal is weight loss or weight control, more
exercise burns more calories. But like everything else in life, exercise can be over done. Too much exercise can have detrimental effects. Also
keep in mind, effective weight control requires adjusting your caloric intake in addition to regular exercise.
Your PaceMaster treadmill comes equipped with a wireless chest strap that can be used to monitor your heart rate during exercise on your treadmill.
This chest strap must be used when using the heart rate control program. Below are instructions on how to wear the chest strap.
1. Attach the CardioSport transmitter to the elastic strap.
2. Adjust the strap length to fit snugly and comfortably.
3. Wet the grooved electrode areas on the back of the CardioSport transmitter.
4. Secure the strap around your chest, below the breasts and lock the
buckle.
5. Check that the grooved and wet electrode areas are against your skin
and the CardioSport logo is in a central upright position.
NOTE: It is recommended that you wear the transmitter against your bare skin to ensure a flawless operation. However if you wish to wear
the transmitter over a shirt, moisten the shirt well under the electrodes.
Once you are wearing the chest strap properly follow the instructions below to monitor you heart rate during your workout. You can use
PaceMaster's unique heart rate monitoring system in all modes of operation. This section will describe how it works in all modes of operation except
the Heart Rate Control program. For instructions on how to use the Heart Rate Control program please see that section in this manual.
1. Press the HEART RATE button after entering your age and weight and prior to choosing your mode of operation (manual, factory programs, or
