SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchasing the Smart Trainer / Trainer Pro. The Smart Trainer / Trainer Pro is a feature-packed precision device.
Apart from monitoring your heart rate and calorie and fat consumption while training, it is capable of deriving the optimum training program for you basing on your target activity score.
The products come with a heart rate chest belt and a receiver watch complete with the functions of a real-time clock, stopwatch and back light.
SMART TRAINING PROGRAM
It is important you know your maximum heart rate (MHR), training zone, upper heart rate limit and lower heart rate limit before you begin. They help you achieve the maximum health benefits out of your workout.
Your Smart Trainer / Trainer Pro was equipped with a SMART TRAINING PROGRAM that your own MHR could be determined so that your own upper and lower limit was set automatically throughout the training process.
Or you can set your own upper and lower limit using the following as a reference guide.
You may estimate your MHR using the following formula: Men 220 - age = MHR Women 230 - age = MHR

There are generally three training zones. They are health benefited and related to your MHR as follows:
50%
Moderate Activity
60%
Weight Management
70%
Aerobic Zone
80%
Anaerobic Threshold Zone
90%
Red Line Zone ( maximum capacity )
100%
The upper and lower heart rate limits are calculated by multiplying your MHR by the percentages of the selected training zone.
For example: For a 40-year-old man to train for health maintenance,
His Upper Heart Rate Limit (220 - 40) x 70% = 126
(beats per minute)
His Lower Heart Rate Limit (220 - 40) x 60% = 108
(beats per minute)
For a 30-year-old woman to train for aerobic exercise,
Her Upper Heart Rate Limit (230 - 30) x 80% = 160
(beats per minute)
Her Lower Heart Rate Limit (230 - 30) x 70% = 140
(beats per minute)
The SMART TRAINING PROGRAM will guide you through the warm up exercise to the end of the training exercise. Throughout the whole training process you may check the calories consumed and % of fat burn (from which it could show the percentage of calories came from burning fat).

FITNESS INDEX
Y our Smart T rainer / Trainer Pro will generate a fitness index based on your aerobic fitness, or your capacity to engage any forms of aerobic exercise, dependent and limited by the body’s ability to deliver oxygen to the working muscles in training. It is often measured by maximum oxygen uptake (VO2 Max), which is defined as the highest amount of oxygen that can be utilized when exercising at an increasingly demanding level. The lungs, heart, blood, circulatory system, and working muscles are all factors in determined VO2 Max. The unit of VO2 Max is ml/kg.min.
Generally, the fitness range lies between 13 to 53 depend on ages. The higher the index, the fitter you are. (Refer to the following diagram for reference.)

TRAINING TIPS
- Identify your training goal, be it to lose weight, keep fit, improve
health or compete with a friend.
- Select a training activity you enjoy. Varying your exercises can
make your training more interesting.
- Start slowly.
- Exercise regularly. Twenty to 30 minutes each and three to four
times a week for a healthier cardiovascular system.
- Gradually steps up your training zone as you become fitter.
- Always allow at least five minutes before and after training within
your exercise zone for warm-up and cool-down.

- The health maintenance zone has the lowest training intensity.
It is good for beginners and those who want to strengthen their cardiovascular systems.
- The aerobic exercise zone increases strength and endurance. It
works within the body’s oxygen intake capability, burns more calories and can last longer.
- The anaerobic exercise zone generates speed and power. It works
at or above the body’s oxygen intake capability , builds more muscle and cannot be maintained for a long time.
- Measure your pulse after training. Then repeat the procedure again
after three minutes. If it does not return to its normal resting pulse, you might have trained too hard.
- Always check with your doctor before starting a vigorous training
program
