Step Five
Heart Rate Training Zone
To achieve the maximum healthbenefits fromyour
workout, it is important toknow your heart rate
training zone. Your training zone is your maximum
upper and lower heart rate (beats per minute) during
exercise. Calculate your upper and lower heart rate
limit usingthis formula:
Men: 220– age = MHR
Women: 230 – age = MHR
MultiplyyourMHRbythepercentagesoftheselected
training zone. There are three training zones that are
related to your MHR:
• Health Maintenance Zone (70% – 60%) — The
lowesttrainingintensity.Forbeginnersandthose
who want to strengthen their cardiovascular
system.
• Aerobic Exercise Zone (80% – 70%) —
Increasesstrength andendurance. It works
within the body’s oxygen intakecapability, burns
more calories, and can be maintained over a
longer period of time.
• Anaerobic ExerciseZone (90%– 80%) —
Generatesspeedandpower.Itworksatorabove
the body’s oxygen intake capability and builds
more muscle, but cannot be maintained over a
long period of time.
For example, a 30-year old female who wants to
determineher aerobic exercisezone would calculate
it as follows:
230 – 30 = 200 (MHR)
200 x .80 =160 (Upper limit)
200 x .60 =120 (Lower limit)

burned, and fat burned during exercise. Beforeusing the stopwatch,
you must first set the target activity.
1. Repeatedly press MODE until STW , the current stopwatch time,
and 9appear.
2. Hold down SET until Tand ACTappear, and the current activity
score flashes.

shouldbeaccomplishedwithconductive(EKG)
gel.
2. Attachand adjust the chest strap asshown so
that itfits snugly below the pectoral muscles
across the chest. Theposition ofthe chest
strap affects its performance. In dry, cold
climates, it takesthe heart rate chest strap a
while to function steadily. This is normal.
Effective Range
The chest strap and watch start transmitting and
receiving signals once batteries are in place. Both
units should be worn or mounted within an
effective distance of 30-45 inches. If the signals
become unsteady, shorten the distance between

any time to stop the stopwatch.
9. When the stopwatch stops running,repeatedly press MEM to
view the time you exercised withinthe selected trainingzone,
total exercise time, average heart rate, and the numberof
calories and percent of fat burned.
Notes:
• Make sure you fill in all the parameters. Otherwise, the calorie
count andfat burned willnot be available in training.
• You can leave out the heart rate limits as desired. The optimal
figures areautomatically selected according to the parameter
inputs.
• Ifyouchooseto entertheheartratelimits,besurethelowerlimit
does not exceed the higher limit.
•eor dflash if your lower or upper limits are exceeded. When
the alert is activated, a two-beepwarning signal sounds
