separately), iPod nano can record and display your heart
rate as you work out. You can also specify a range or
“zone” of the maximum and minimum heart rates that
you want to maintain during a workout and track how
well you maintain your heart rate within that zone
as you exercise. As you work out, iPod nano displays
your current heart rate and an upward- or downwardpointing arrow appears when you need to increase or
decrease your activity. You can use a heart rate monitor
while doing any of the standard workouts.
You can also monitor your heart rate as you participate
in activities besides running or walking. For example,
you can use iPod nano and a heart rate monitor as
you participate in sports activities such as basketball,
aerobics, circuit training, golf, hiking, soccer, and more.
When your workout is done, you can transfer your heart
rate information to your nikeplus.com account, where
you can review it.

the heart rate zone you want to maintain, choose the
activity type that you’ll be doing, and then enjoy a good
workout. All your heart rate information is recorded
