Heart
Rate
is
an
Important
Key
to
Your
Exercise
The
Surgeon
General
also
released
a
report
on
physical
activity
and
health.
This
report
dictates
that
exercise
and
fitness
are
beneficial
for
a
person’s
health
and
reiterated
the
need
for
exercise
as
a
key
component
for
disease
prevention
and
healthier
living.
The
best
way
to
determine
exercise
intensity
is
to
monitor
your
pulse
rate.
Your
heart
rate
can
easily
be
determined
by
counting
the
number
of
heart
beats
per
minute
at
the
chest,
wrist
or
the
carotid
artery
on
your
neck.
It
is
difficult
however
to
count
your
own
pulse
while
exercising
as
it
is
not
possible
to
count
fast
enough
to
accurately
track
the
number
of
beats
per
minute.
This
Diamondback
Fitness
unit
is
equipped
with
a
set
of
touch
heart
rate
sensors.
Using
the
Touch
Heart
Rate
Sensors
While
the
unit
is
powered
‐
on
and
a
workout
program
is
operating,
gently
grasp
both
touch
heart
rate
sensors
on
the
handlebar.
The
computer
will
detect
your
pulse
rate
and
register
the
value
as
a
two
or
three
digit
number
in
the
PULSE
window
on
the
LCD
display.
NOTE:
If
an
inconsistent
heart
rate
is
displayed
while
using
the
hand
pulse
sensors:
Ensure
the
palms
of
both
hands
are
touching
the
contact
areas
of
the
touch
heart
rate
sensors.
Maintain
constant
and
even
pressure
on
the
grips.
Do
not
clutch
the
touch
heart
rate
sensors
tightly.
Try
to
keep
both
hands
still
while
griping
the
touch
heart
rate
sensor.
Make
sure
the
contacts
are
clean.
