Muscle toning
To tone muscle while on your fitness trainer you will need to have the
resistance set quite high� This will put more strain on our leg muscles
and may mean you cannot train for as long as you would like� If you
are also trying to improve your fitness you need to alter your training
program� You should train as normal during the warm up and cool
down phases, but towards the end of the exercise phase you should
increase resistance making your legs work harder� You will have to
reduce your speed to keep your heart rate in the target zone�
Weight loss
The important factor here is the amount of effort you put in�
The harder and longer you work the more calories you will burn�
Effectively this is the same as if you were training to improve your
fitness, the difference is the goal�
Heart rate
Heart rate measurement (heart rate chest belt)
‼ NOTE
•
A chest strap does not come standard with this trainer� When
you like to use a wireless chest strap you need to purchase this
as an accessory�
The most accurate heart rate measurement is achieved with a heart
rate chest belt� The heart rate is measured by a heart rate receiver
in combination with a heart rate transmitter belt� Accurate heart
measurement requires that the electrodes on the transmitter belt are
slight moist and constantly touching the skin� If the electrodes are
too dry or too moist, the heart rate measurement will become less
accurate�
⚠ WARNING
•
If you have a pacemaker, consult a physician before using a
heartrate chest belt�
⚠ CAUTION
•
If there are several heart rate measurement devices next to each
other, make sure that the distance between them is at least 1�5
metres�
•
If there is only one heart rate receiver and several heart rate
transmitters, make sure that only one person with a transmitter
is within transmission range�
‼
NOTE
•
Always wear the heart rate chest belt under your clothes directly
in contact with your skin� Do not wear the heart rate chest belt
above your clothes� If you wear the heart rate chest belt above
your clothes, there will be no signal�
•
If you set a heart rate limit for your workout, an alarm will sound
when it is exceeded�
•
The transmitter transmits the heart rate to the console up to a
distance of 1 metre� If the electrodes are not moist, the heart
rate will not appear on the display�
•
Some fibers in clothes (e�g� polyester, poly-amide) create static
electricity which can prevent accurate heart rate measurement�
•
Mobile phones, televisions and other electrical appliances
create an electromagnetic field which can prevent accurate
heart rate measurement�
Maximum heart rate (during training)
The maximum heart rate is the highest heart rate a person can safely
achieve through exercise stress� The following formula is used to
calculate the average maximum heart rate: 220 - AGE� The maximum
heart rate varies from person to person�
⚠ WARNING
•
Make sure that you do not exceed your maximum heart rate
during your workout� If you belong to a risk group, consult a
physician�
