2. EXERCISE

Target Heart Rarte Zones

The best way to achieve goals and see results is to exercise at the right intensity. Exercising in different
heart rate zones has different benefits. Alternating between different zones improves fitness and brings
variation to exercising. Heart rate zones are calculated as percentages of the maximum heart rate.

Heart rate zones for children (under 20-year-old):

Wear the Heart Rate Sensor

Wear the heart rate sensor to measure heart rate.

1. Moisten the electrode area of the
strap.

2. Attach the connector to the strap.

3. Tie the strap around your chest, just
below the chest muscles, and attach
the hook to the other end of the strap.

4. Adjust the strap length to fit tightly
but comfortably. Check that the moist
electrode areas are firmly against your
skin and that the Polar logo of the
connector is in a central and upright
position.

Detach the connector from the strap after
every use, to maximize the battery
lifetime. Sweat and moisture may keep
the electrodes wet and the heart rate
sensor activated. This will reduce the
battery life.
