HEART RATE MONITORING
Heart rate monitoring allows you to determine if your treadmill workout is too challenging or not challenging enough. Monitoring
heart rate is easy with the STAR TRAC PRO / PRO ELITE TREADMILL, which provides both a heart rate strap and heart
rate grips that allow you to your heart automatically. Your goal will be to keep your exercise heart rate at 60 to 90 percent of the
theoretical maximum for your age as listed on the Target Heart Rate table and graph in chapter 6.
NOTE: The Heart Rate monitor is not a medical test, nor is it designed as a medical test. It is simply a guide to target heart rate
training. Please consult with your physician prior to engaging in any strenuous physical activity.
IMPORTANT: The manufacturer does not warrant the heart rate system performance on this product, as the heart rate system
performance varies, based on a user’s physiology, fitness level, age, method of use and other factors. Furthermore, the heart rate
system is not for medical use.
