TRAINING ZONES
Training Zones allow you to choose the level of intensity of your workout. Each zone
has a minimum and maximum % of your maximum heart rate which allows you to
workout at the most optimum level depending on your fitness goals. Whenever your
heart rate is below or above the training zone, the heart rate monitor will beep and
the LED indicator will flash red. When your heart rate is inside the training zone the
heart rate monitor will be silent and the LED indicator will flash green.
In heart rate mode, press the SEL button until the training
zones (upper limit and lower limit) ("ZONE") are displayed in
the top segment.
There are three specified training zones (1, 2 and 3), as well as a user-defined
training zone (U).
The heart rate monitor
automatically
calculates your maximum heart rate (MHR)
based on your age (You can also customize the MHR in the
settings
). It also calculates
your personal upper and lower limits of the three specified training zones:
Zone 1: 50-65% of MHR
Zone 2: 65-80% of MHR
Zone 3: 80-95% of MHR
