Overexertion can cause serious injury, including heart
attacks. Some individuals cannot safely elevate their heart
rate to the levels of typically used heart rate training zones.
No one should begin an exercise program without first
obtaining medical clearance, especially if there is a personal
or family history of heart disease, high blood pressure, if
you are over age 40, have diabetes, high cholesterol, smoke
cigarettes, are overweight or are taking certain medications.
Stop exercising and seek medical attention if you notice
signs of overexertion or heart problems, such as pain or
pressure in the left or mid-chest area or left part of the neck,
shoulder or arm, light-headedness, cold sweat, unusual
paleness or fainting. Also note that the signals used by this
monitor may interfere with a pacemaker or other implanted
devices. Consult the manufacturer of the implant device
and/ or your physician prior to using this monitor. .

technology! Your purchase shows that you are

you have to spend longer periods of time to
achieve your goals. With Target Heart Rate
Training, you will increase the effectiveness of
your workout by monitoring and quantifying
your results every step of the way. For most
individuals, as little as 20 minutes in your target
heart rate zone each session is enough to

Acumen Basix will act as your personal coach
and guide you to your fitness goals more
effectively.
