HEART RATE MONITORING
Heart rate monitoring allows you to determine if your workout is too challenging or not challenging enough. Monitoring heart
rate is easy with the
STAR TRAC S SERIES BIKE
. You may use a heart rate strap (not provided with the bike), or you can
simply grasp the silver contact heart rate grips (available on the S-UBx Upright and S-RBx Recumbent bikes only).
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
training. 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
performance 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.
