Chest Strap
Heart Rate
Monitoring
When you wear a Polar® or compatible transmitter strap, the
elliptical will display your heart rate as a digital beats-per-minute
(bpm) readout.
The transmitter strap should be worn directly against your skin,
about one inch below the pectoral muscles/breast line (see picture
below). Women should be careful to place the transmitter below
their bra line.
Some moisture is necessary
between the strap and your skin.
Sweat from your exercise works
best, but ordinary tap water may
be used prior to your workout if
desired.
Examples of Heart Rates
Found in Daily Life
An average 30-year-old might
have a resting heart rate, when
sitting totally still for several
minutes, of 65. During hard
exercise that can be sustained
for 10 to 15 minutes it might
be around 140 continuously.
A maximum heart rate that
requires maximal exercise for
several minutes to attain is 185.
A 30-year-old in good shape
might have a resting heart rate
near 55, and might exercise for
20 minutes at a heart rate of
160.
A world-class distance runner
or professional cyclist might
have a resting heart rate near
45.
