low pedaling speed and low resistance, because

for an overweight person strenuous exercise

may subject the heart and circulatory system to

excessive strain. As fitness improves, resistance

and pedaling speed can be increased gradually.

HEART RATE

No matter what your goal, you’ll get the best

results by training at the right level of effort, and

the best measure is your own heart rate.

HEART RATE MEASUREMENT WITH HANDGRIp
SENSORS

Heart rate is measured from the hands using the

sensors located on the handlebars. The sensors

measure electric impulses, which are formed

when a person’s heart beats. Measurement

is started by touching both handlebar sensors

simultaneously. To ensure reliable heart rate

measurement, skin must be slightly moist and

skin contact with sensors must be continuous.

If skin is too dry or too wet, the heart rate

measurement operation from the hands is less

reliable. Try to keep your upper body and palms

relaxed and still.

TELEMETRIC HEART RATE MEASUREMENT

The most reliable heart rate measurement is

achieved with a telemetric device, in which the

electrodes of the transmitter fastened to the

chest transmit the pulses from the heart to the

console by means of an electromagnetic field.

NOTE!

If you are fitted with a pacemaker, please

consult a physician before using a wireless heart

rate monitor.

If you want to measure your heart rate this

way during your workout, moisten the grooved

electrodes on the transmitter belt with saliva or

water. Fasten the transmitter just below the chest

with the elastic belt, firmly enough so that the

electrodes remain in contact with the skin while

exercising, but not so tight that normal breathing

is prevented. If you wear the transmitter and belt

over a light shirt, moisten the shirt slightly at the

points where the electrodes touch the shirt. The

transmitter automatically transmits the heart rate

reading to the console up to a distance of about

1 m.

If the electrode surfaces are not moist, the heart-

rate reading will not appear on the display. If

the electrodes are dry, they must be moistened

again. Allow the electrodes warm up properly to

ensure accurate heart rate measurement. If there

are several telemetric heart rate measurement

devices next to each other, the distance between

them should be at least 1.5 m. Similarly, if there

is only one receiver and several transmitters in

use, only one person with a transmitter should

be within transmission range. The transmitter

is switched to an active state only when it is

being used for measurement. Sweat and other

moisture can, however, keep the transmitter in an

active state and waste battery energy. Therefore

it is important to dry the electrodes carefully after

use.

When selecting training attire, please note that

some fibers used in clothes (e.g. polyester,

polyamide) create static electricity, which may

prevent reliable heart rate measurement. Please

note that a mobile phone, television and other

electrical appliances form an electromagnetic

field around them, which will cause problems in

heart rate measurement.

First find your maximum heart rate i.e. where the

rate doesn’t increase with added effort. If you

don’t know your maximum heart rate, please use

the following formula as a guide:

220 - AGE

These are average values and the maximum

varies from person to person. The maximum

heart-rate diminishes on average by one point

per year. If you belong to a risk group, ask a

doctor to measure your maximum heart rate for

you.

We have defined three different heart-rate zones

to help you with targeted training.

BEGINNER:

50-60 % of maximum heart-rate

Also suitable for weight-watchers, convalescents

and those who haven’t exercised for a long

time. Three sessions a week of at least a half-

hour each is recommended. Regular exercise

considerably improves beginners’ respiratory and

circulatory performance and you will quickly feel

your improvement.

TRAINER:

60-70 % of maximum heart-rate

Perfect for improving and maintaining fitness.

Even reasonable effort develops the heart and

lungs effectively, training for a minimum of 30

minutes at least three times a week. To improve

your condition still further, increase either

frequency or effort, but not both at the same

time!

ACTIVE TRAINER:

70-80 % of maximum heart-rate

Exercise at this level suits only the fittest and

presupposes long-endurance workouts.
