ZONE TRAINING
ABOUT ZONE TRAINING
You can set an upper and lower heart rate limit and control the intensity
of your workout so that your heart rate stays within that limit. This is
called “Zone Training.” Zone training allows you to pace yourself more
accurately, avoid over-exertion and in general have a more targeted and
therefore more productive workout.
Zone training is just one part of a structured fitness regimen. It is very
important that you train in a zone that is appropriate for your fitness
level and goals. Consult a doctor or health professional in order to
determine the best training zone for you.
HIGH INTENSITY
Exercise at high intensity only if you are in excellent physical condition.
Exercise at this intensity to:
• increase your peak performance.
• accustom your body to competition-level performance.
• increase your tolerance to lactic acid.
MEDIUM INTENSITY
Exercise at this intensity to:
• increase cardiovascular health.
• improve endurance.
• lose weight.
LOW INTENSITY
Exercise at this intensity:
• after an injury.
• when beginning an exercise regimen.
• during recovery sessions.
• to improve overall health.
ALTERNATE DISPLAY

The default display shows your high and low limits. You can briefly view

AUDIBLE ZONE ALARM
You can set an audible alarm to sound when you are outside of your
training zone. Press any button to silence the alarm.
Follow directions in
Making Adjustments to Mode Settings
to set zone
limits and activate and deactivate the audible alarm.
SWITCH BETWEEN ZONE 1 AND ZONE 2
Your heart rate monitor allows you to set two different training zones. In
the course of a workout you may want to train in one zone for warm-up
and cool down and train in a different zone for the main portion of the
workout. Or, you may train in one zone for a few days of the week and in
a different zone on other days.
