program, consult your physician, who can assist you in determining the target heart rate zone appropriate for your age and physical condition.

keep your estimated pulse rate within your target heart rate zone. Follow the instructions on pages 15 and 16 in this manual regarding heart rate monitoring and how to determine your appropriate target heart rate zone. When used properly, the heart rate pulse sensors and display monitor provide a reasonably accurate estimate of your actual heart rate. This estimate is not exact and persons with medical conditions and/or a specific need for accurate heart rate monitoring should not rely on the estimations provided.

3) Warm up before any exercise program by

doing 8 minutes of aerobic activity, followed by stretching.

movement and that are not tight or restricting.
