a week is better than not at all. The effects of

exercising will show after just a few weeks. If you’re

very unﬁ t, start with a 20 minute workout. Once

your condition improves, you can train for 30-60

minutes depending on your goal.

EXERCISE LEVEL

The best training to improve your general ﬁ tness

is properly efﬁ cient, not too heavy and not too

easy. It’s good to sweat while working out, but

important still to be able to talk comfortably. This

type of exercise is called aerobic or endurance

exercise and your body produces the required

energy by burning body fat with the aid of oxygen.

This in turn leads to a reduction in fat tissue. 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. First ﬁ nd 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:

208 - 0,7 X AGE

This is an average value and the maximum varies

from person to person. The maximum heart-rate

diminishes on average by one point per year. If you

belong to one of the risk groups mentioned earlier,

ask a doctor to measure your maximum heart rate

for you. We have deﬁ ned 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 ﬁ tness.

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 ﬁ ttest and

presupposes long-endurance workouts.

Rest is as important as exercise in a ﬁ tness program.

If you for instance exercise conscientiously for

three weeks, it’s good to make the following week a

little lighter.

MEASURING HEART RATE

This equipment has a built in pulse receiver,

which is compatible with a Polar telemetric pulse

transmitter.

TELEMETRIC HEART RATE MEASUREMENT

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, ﬁ rmly enough so that the

electrodes remain in contact with the skin while

pedaling, 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 meter up to a distance of about

1 meter. The heart-rate value is displayed in the

meter. Follow your heart rate during the training.

REMARKS ON TELEMETRIC

MEASUREMENT

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 to warm up properly to

ensure accurate heart-rate measurement. If there

are several telemetric heart rate measurement

equipments 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 ﬁ bers 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 electro-magnetic

ﬁ eld around them, which will cause problems in

heart rate measurement.
