A Fit Heart
Recent fitness findings indicate that anyone can get fit and stay fit
without being overzealous. It can be as simple as:
•Exercising3to4timesperweek.
•Exercisingfor30to45minutesduringeachexercisesession.
•Exercisingattheappropriateheartrate.
Heart rate represents the effects of exercise on all parts of the
body. Selecting the appropriate heart rate zone conditions the
heart, lungs, and muscles to perform at optimal levels to get and
keep your body in shape. Once set, your Digital Heart Rate Monitor
can automatically show you when you are in the exercise zone
you choose and signal you when you are not. It can help keep your
body exercising at an intensity level that can help you achieve your
desired fitness objectives without over or under exercising.
WARNING:
This is not a medical device and is not recommended for use
by persons with serious heart conditions. Consult your physi-
cian before beginning any exercise program.
Interference with the radio signal, poor contact between your skin
and the Digital Heart Rate Sensor, or other factors may prevent
accurate transmission of heart rate data.
