– Please ask your trainer or doctor in charge about your own upper and lower heart rate values for
training purposes, as well as how long and often you should exercise. This will allow you to achieve
optimal results during training.
– IMPORTANT: Anyone with a cardio-circulatory disease or wearing a pacemaker should only use this
heart rate monitor after consulting their doctor.
3. General information for training
This heart rate monitor serves to measure the human pulse. By means of various settings, you can
support your individual training program and monitor your pulse. You should monitor your pulse during
exercise because you should prevent your heart from excessive strain on the one hand and on the other
in order to achieve the optimal training results. The table provides you with some information on the
selection of your training zone. The maximum heart rate reduces with advancing age. Information on the
training heart rate must therefore always be in relation to the maximum heart rate. The following rule of
thumb is used for the identification of the maximum heart rate:
For men: 220 - age = maximum heart rate
For women: 226 - age = maximum heart rate
