essential
measurement, using either the hand-
grip sensors or the chest band. It is
advisable to do a brief warm-up
session before doing this test. This will
prevent possible injuries.
The maximum number of heartbeats
that a person should not exceed is
referred to as the maximum Herat rate
and this value drops with age. A
simple formula to calculate this is to
subtract your age, in years, from the
number 220. The maximum Herat rate
should be kept between 65% and 85%
for correct exercise, it is not advisable
to go above 85%.
Whenever your pulse rate exceeds
85% of the maximum heart rate value
a flashing heart symbol will appear
and a 2 second beep will sound until
your pulse rate drops below 85% of
your maximum heart rate.
For safety reasons it is advisable to
exercise
