3.7 MEASURING YOUR HEART RATE
WARNING – Heart rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate. Over exercising may result in serious
injury or death. If you feel faint or dizzy, stop exercising immediately.
If your wireless heart rate readings are not functioning or are erratic please refer to Section 6.3, Heart
Rate Troubleshooting.
Your Bodyguard Fitness rower can detect your heart rate if you wear a compatible heart rate chest strap
(5kHz) that wirelessly transmits a signal to a receiver in the machine.
When the equipment detects your heart rate a small indicator begins to flash on the display and after a
short period of time if the reading is consistent a value will appear.
Before you begin a workout ensure you know your approximate Maximum Heart Rate (MHR).
An approximate of your Maximum Heart Rate is calculated as follows.
