WARNUNG :
Always consult your physician before starting a fitness
programme. A pulse computer is not a medical device. It is a training tool
designed to measure and display your heart rate.
USE A PRECISE TRAINING METHOD
All the experts agree: the heart is the most important muscle in the body and,
like all muscles, should be exerxised regularly to remain storng and efficient.
But how can you determine whether you are exercising your heart both safely
and effectively? Fortunately, the heart itself provides your with key information
that will help you to examine the effectiveness and the degree of safety of your
training method. Your heart rate, which is expressed in a single number (Beats
Per Minute), gives a constant account of your body’s state of health, Your
heart rate will tell you how fast you are using energy or whether you are
exercising too hard or too lax.
Obvibusly, yourbody does not benefit from a training method if your heart rate
is too low. If it is too high, you run the risk of injury and you will suffer from
fatigue. It does not matter whether your goal is to win athletics meetings,
loseweight or simply to improve your overall heath. What is important is that
you can refine your training method by keeping your heart rate within a certain
target zone. In order to accomplish this, you would obviously need to know
your precise heart rate at any given moment throughout your training session.
Modern technology has now enabled us to present you with wireless electronic
pulse computers. Monitoring your heart rate with one of these computers is
easy and fun to do.
KNOW YOUR LIMITS AND DETERMINE YOUR PERSONAL EXERCISE
ZONE
Exercise zones are established by setting Upper and Lower Heart Rate Limits.
These limits constitute a certain percentage of
your Maximum Heart Rate (MHR).
You may already know your MHR if you are
an avid athlete or if you have already taken a
Max. Heart Rate test. If not, the following
formula will help you to make an
educated guess:
EXERCISE ZONE (BPM)
MHR = 220-(Your age)
e.g. Age : 20
MHR : 220 - 20 = 200
For instance, the current
heart rate is 150, then 75%
will be shown.
