UNDERSTANDiNg HEART RATE
HEART RATE zONES AND ExERCiSE
Heart rate is an indicator of the intensity of the exercise on
your body. It is a useful tool for determining how effective
a work-out is.
This watch uses an estimation of your maximum heart rate
(220 - age = MHR) to arrive at 5 HR zone settings specific
to you.
