THE MZ-3

WHAT IS MYZONE®?
MYZONE® is a chest strap and monitoring system that displays heart
rate, calories, time and effort to a TV or monitor or to the MYZONE®
App, while simultaneously creating an online logbook of all physical
activity that can be viewed anywhere in the world.
• Exercise inside and outside of a facility while their effort activity is recorded.
• Login online anywhere and track their activity and progress.
• Earn MYZONE Effort Points (MEPs) for every minute of physical activity.
• Participate in challenges based on physical activity and measure results.
• Achieve goals via utilizing heart rate intensity feedback.

HOW TO FIT YOUR MZ-3
1
STEP
Register your belt at myzone.org by clicking on the “Register
your Belt” button. Follow our simple registration instructions
and enter the Facility ID and MYZONE® Activity Belt ID, found
on the back of your module (i.e. SN 1234567). The Facility ID
will be provided by the business from which you purchased
your belt.
2
STEP
Attach the black module with the snaps marked right and left
to the red strap. Then place the module in the center of your
chest on top of your sternum with the logo facing out. You can
adjust the strap size using the plastic adjuster. The belt should
fit snugly around your body, however always ensure that it is
comfortable. To set your resting heart rate, wear your belt for
10 minutes prior to starting your first activity. For best results
in establishing your resting heart rate, wear your MZ-3 while
lying down at a complete rest. You only need to do this once.
3
STEP
Before starting your activity, it is advised to moisten the two
black sensors on the fabric strap then connect the plastic
module to the fabric strap. You will hear 1 beep to confirm the
belt is on. You should hear no more beeps until you
disconnect the belt.
4
STEP
While wearing your belt, your data will upload into your
account when you are in range of a MYZONE® Hub or are live
streaming to the MYZONE® App. This range will differ from
location to location. If you have exercised away from the
facility where you received your belt, your data will store on
the memory chip. The memory chip will store between 14 and
16 hours of activity.

5
STEP
Each time you return to the facility where you received your
belt or open your MYZONE® Effort Stream in the App, your
stored data will upload to your online account as long as you
are wearing your belt or are holding the belt between your
thumbs and are within 15 feet of the MYZONE® Hub or the
MYZONE® App. On the screen at the facility, you will see
either a green check mark next to your nickname, or your
scrolling nickname and the upload time if the tile display is up.
When uploading via the App, you will see the date and time of
your last successful upload on the bottom of the Effort
Stream page.
6
STEP
You will hear 3 beeps to signal that you have taken off the belt
and it is now in sleep mode. Remember your module is
rechargeable via USB cord. Keeping your module attached to
the red strap when you’re not exercising will drain the
battery, so be sure to remove it after each workout!
7
STEP
Once you have uploaded any activity data, you can view this
progress by logging into your online account at
myzonemoves.com or through your MYZONE® App, available
on the App Store or Google Play. For any more information on
using the MYZONE® system, please look at the FAQs section
of your online account via myzonemoves.com or email
[e-mail]
If you have a heart condition, are on medication which affects
your heart or have an implemented electronic device (i.e.
Pacemaker), consult your physician prior to using the
MYZONE® MZ-3. If you feel faint, dizzy or uncomfortable
during activity, stop and seek assistance.

Your MZ-3 picks up electrical signals generated by the contractions of your
heart. To be effective, your MZ-3 belt must be worn under your clothing to
make proper contact with your skin. To wear it, place the module in the
center of your chest on top of your sternum with the logo facing out. The
MZ-3 should fit snugly but comfortably around your chest.

your MZ-3 of any heart condition or of any medication that you are taking.
They will then be able to advise you at which intensities to exercise. The
MZ-3 is not a medical device. As always, it is important to consult a
physician prior to starting any exercise program.

OTHER HEART RATE WATCHES?
Yes. The MYZONE® MZ-3 has an analogue 5.3 KHz frequency radio which
is compatible with most brands of traditional cardiovascular equipment.
This will also allow connectivity with most analogue heart rate watches.
The MYZONE® MZ-3 may pair with ANT+ devices however this should be
tested on a case by case basis. Lastly, the MZ-3 has the ability to pair with
any Bluetooth device.

UNDERSTANDING HEART RATE TRAINING
Q: WHAT IS MAX HEART RATE?
Maximum heart rate is the highest heart rate an individual can safely achieve through exercise stress.
Q: HOW DOES MYZONE CALCULATE MY MAX HEART RATE?
MYZONE® uses a formula derived by ‘Londeree and Moeschberger (University of Missouri)’ to automatically establish
your age predictive MAX HR:
Max HR = 206.3 - (0.711 x age)
This is based on population norms. If you are able to push your maximum HR past this limit your MYZONE® profile
will automatically adjust to this new limit. You can also ask your coach/trainer/teacher to adjust your maximum heart
rate if it does not Appear to be accurate or if you have completed a maximum heart rate test.
Q: WILL MY MAX HEART RATE CHANGE OVER TIME?
Your maximum heart rate will reduce as you get older. It will not change aside from this although your ability to
maintain a higher heart rate will increase with training.
Q: WHAT IS RESTING HEART RATE AND WILL MY RESTING HEART RATE CHANGE OVER TIME?
Resting heart rate is the number of times your heart beats per minute at rest. It is best to measure this first thing in
the morning. As you become fitter, your resting heart rate will reduce as your heart becomes more efficient. Resting
heart rate is not used in the calculation of MEPs for any information on your tile. It is only for informational purposes.
Q: HOW DOES MYZONE ESTABLISH MY RESTING HEART RATE?
MYZONE® sets your resting heart rate to 100bpm (beats per minute) as standard. When you first register your belt
it is recommended that you perform a resting heart rate test. This involves sitting or lying comfortably while wearing
your belt for 10 minutes, ideally in the morning. When you next upload your data at the MYZONE Console your
resting heart rate will recalculate to your actual resting value. You can also ask your coach/trainer/teacher to adjust
your resting heart rate if it does not Appear to be accurate or if you have completed a resting heart rate test.

Q: HOW DOES MYZONE CALCULATE THE 5INTENSITY ZONES?

heart rate (Max HR). The effort is expressed as a percentage of the user’s Max HR.
The five Heart Rate Zones are:
GREY : 50% to 60% of Max HR
BLUE : 60% to 70% of Max HR
GREEN : 70% to 80% of Max HR
YELLOW : 80% to 90% of Max HR
RED : 90% to 100% of Max HR

MYZONE® Effort Points (MEPs) are earned based on the effort exerted by the user. Time spent in each Heart Rate
Zone earns different numbers of MEPs:
GREY : 50% to 60% of Max HR
BLUE : 60% to 70% of Max HR
GREEN : 70% to 80% of Max HR
YELLOW : 80% to 90% of Max HR
RED : 90% to 100% of Max HR
Q: HOW DOES MYZONE® CALCULATE CALORIC EXPENDITURE?
MYZONE® calculates the number of calories burnt by taking into account a number of personal details including
your gender, age, weight and every heart beat.
Q: IS IT IMPORTANT FOR ME TO UPDATE MY BODY METRICS REGULARLY?
Yes. As calories burnt are calculated based on your weight, it is important that you regularly update your weight.
You can do this either manually in your Outcomes Page or by using Approved compatible MYZONE® scales. For more
information on using MYZONE® compatible scales, see the “more info tab” within your account under health report.
Q: WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO DETERMINE IF MY FITNESS HAS IMPROVED USING HEART RATE?
By measuring your resting heart rate over a period of time or by repeating an identical exercise session and
comparing your average heart rate in your MYZONE® Activity report. When your resting or average heart rate goes
down, your heart is becoming more efficient and therefore you are increasing your level of fitness.

59%

Q: WHAT AFFECTS MY HEART RATE RESPONSE DAY TO DAY?
Many factors affect your resting and heart rate during exercise including the amount of sleep you have had, stress,
nutrition, hydration, heavy training, fatigue, adrenaline, competition, and mental focus.
Q: WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT TO MONITOR HEART RATE AND HOW MUCH EFFORT I AM PUTTING IN?
Knowing what intensity you are working at is essential to ensure you get the most from your exercise sessions and
get the results you want. It also assists you to train safely and effectively when not under the guidance of a trainer
or coach.
