23 a Fit heartRecent fitness findings indicate that anyone can get fit and stay \ fit without being overzealous. It can be as simple as: • Exercising 3 to 4 times per week. • Exercising for 30 to 45 minutes during each exercise session. • Exercising at the appropriate heart rate. Heart rate represents the effects of exercise on all parts of the body. Selecting the appropriate heart rate zone conditions the heart, lungs, and muscles to perform at optimal levels to get and keep your body in shape. Once set, your Digital Heart Rate Monitor can automatically show you when you are in the exercise zone you chose and signal you when you are not. It can help keep your body exercising at an intensity level that can help you achieve your desired fitness objectives without over or under exercising. W ar NING: This is not a medical device and is not recommended for use by persons with serious heart conditions. Consult your physician before beginning any exercise program. Interference with the radio signal, poor contact between your skin and the Digital Heart Rate Sensor, or other factors may prevent accurate transmission of heart rate data.resourcesVisit http://www.Timex.com/ hr M for more information on Timex® Heart rate Monitors, including product features.

Determining your o ptimal h eart r ate ZoneThere are five basic heart rate target zones. Simply select a zone that matches your percent of maximum (%) heart rate based on the fitness goal you want to achieve during a particular exercise . Before you can set your %, you first need to determine your maximum heart rate. You can use many methods to estimate your maximum heart rate. The booklet “Heart Zones ® Tools For Success” provides excellent procedures and Timex recommends you use one of these methodologies. However, if you cannot use any of the procedures you might consider using the government recommended age-based method. Begin with the number 220 and then subtract your age. For instance, a 35-year old would begin with 220 and subtract 35 (her age), which gives an estimated maximum heart rate of 185. Once you know your maximum heart r ate, you can set the zones described in the following table. Zone % Goalb enefit 1 50% to 60% Light exercise Maintain a healthy heart and get fit 2 60% to 70% Weight management Lose weight and burn fat 3 70% to 80% Aerobic base building Increase stamina and aerobic endurance 4 80% to 90% Optimal conditioning Sustain excellent fitness condition 5 90% to 100% Elite athletic trainingAchieve superb athletic condition Getting started with your heart rate Monitorbefore you b eginOnce you have determined your fitness goal and maximum heart rate, Timex recommends you input this information into the HRM SETUP Mode. This will allow you to tailor your Digital Heart Rate Monitor to your personal par ameters. To Use your Digital h eart r ate Monitor1. Wet the Digital Heart Rate Sensor pads. 2. Center the Sensor on your chest with the Timex® logo facing up and out and fasten it firmly, just below your sternum. 3.

Begin your workout. N o TE: The watch automatically records your heart rate and other statistical data about your workout (available in Review Mode) only if you run Chrono Mode during your workout. 6. If the watch is set to alert you when you go above or below your chosen target heart rate zone press and hold HEART RATE to turn the audible alert off . Otherwise it will continue beeping until you return to your target zone. When you are turning the audible alert off, you will see the message HOLD ALERT OFF. Continue pressing HEART RATE until you see the message A UDIBLE ALERT OFF . Conversely, when you are turning the audible alert on, you will see the message HOLD ALERT ON.
