MONITOR Y OUR HEART RA TE
The SmartRate and heart rate display s provide visual cues
that help you adjust your tness r outine to r each your
goals. Use these features to k eep your heart rate within
the target zones.
W ear a Chest Str ap
During a work out, the heart r ate features appear on
the display when you wear a chest strap. T o rec eive an
accurate r eading, the chest strap needs to be in direct
contact with y our skin. After y ou put on the chest str ap,
face the display console for a minimum of 15 seconds. This
allows the receiver in the console to r ecognize the signal
from the chest strap.
1. Carefully dampen the back of the str ap with tap
water (Diagr am A).
IMPORT ANT : Do not use deionized water . It does
not have the proper miner als and salts to c onduct
electrical impulses.
2. Adjust the str ap and fasten it around y our chest.
The str ap should feel snug, not restrictive
(Diagram B ).
3. Mak e sure that the chest strap is right side up, lies
horizontally acr oss your chest, and is centered in
the middle of y our chest (Diagram C).
When these steps ar e complete, y ou are r eady to view
your heart r ate.
T ouch- Sensitive Handrail Grips
Sever al Precor products incorpor ate touch-sensitive
heart rate grips on the handrails. If you pref er to use
the touch-sensitive handr ail grips, use both hands.
Make sur e both hands are moist (not dry) and av oid
grasping the sensors too tightly .
Note: F or the best heart rate monitoring results, w ear a
chest strap .
sMARTRA TE® FEA TUREs
When you begin an ex ercise session, a blinking
segment in the SmartRate displa y appears if y ou
entered y our age during the setup phase. The blinking
segment indicates the curr ent zone of your heart rate.
The calculation used for the heart r ate target z one is
your maximum aerobic heart r ate:
207 - (age x 0.6 7), multiplied by a percentage.
F or the ideal weight loss range, y our heart rate should
remain betw een 55% and 69% of your maximum
aerobic heart rate. T o improv e your over all
cardiov ascular and respir atory tness lev el, maintain
your heart rate betw een 70% and 85% of your
maximum aerobic heart rate. F or the greatest benets,
maintain your heart r ate in either z one for 30 minutes or
more at least three times a week.
CAUTION: Y our heart rate should never ex ceed
85% of your maximum aerobic heart r ate or go
above y our target zone (Diagr am D).
COOl DO WN AFTER Y OUR WORK OUT
Cooling do wn is an important aspect of y our work out
because it helps reduce muscle stiness and
soreness by transporting ex cess lactic acid out of the
working muscles. C ooling down f or at least three
minutes helps pr ovide a smooth tr ansition that allows
your heart rate to return t o its normal, non-exercising state.
