HEART RATE MONITORING
Heart rate monitoring allows you to determine if your treadmill workout is too challenging or not challenging enough. Monitoring heart
rate is easy with the
STAR TRAC E SERIES TREADMILL
, which provides both polar chest strap compatibility, and heart rate grips that
allow you to monitor your heart automatically. Your goal will be to keep your exercise heart rate at 60 to 90 percent of the theoretical
maximum for your age as listed on the Target Heart Rate table and graph in chapter 4.
NOTE:
The Heart Rate monitor is not a medical test, nor is it designed as a medical test. It is simply a guide to target heart rate train-
ing. Please consult with your physician prior to engaging in any strenuous physical activity.
IMPORTANT:
The manufacturer does not warrant the heart rate system performance on this product, as the heart rate system per-
formance varies, based on a user’s physiology, fitness level, age, method of use and other factors. Furthermore, the heart rate system
is not for medical use.
