7.3.6 Training Frequency
At the beginning of training allow yourself enough time to get into shape. After a
break from training, you should also allow sufficient time to rebuild physical condi-
tion.
The priority is regularity and persistence of training - not the intensity. Fitness
experts recommend in the beginning training three to four times per week within
your target heart rate for at least 20 minutes per workout. Your primary objective
should be, step-by-step to reach a level of fitness with which you can easily keep
your heart rate in the target range for 50 to 60 minutes four to five times per week.
In order to prevent sore feet and sore muscles caused by incorrect footwear, the
use of high quality running or jogging shoes is recommended. Ensure there is
adequate heel and arch support.
7.4 Polar
®
Heart Rate Monitor
The display was designed so that the user's heart rate is indicated when a Po-
lar
®
measuring device is used. In order display the user's heart rate accurately on
the screen, the built-in receiver display must receive a stable heart rate signal from
the Polar
®
transmitter.
The Polar
®
heart rate system consists of three main elements:
• sensor/transmitter
• chest strap/belt
• measuring device/console
The receiver for the wireless system is installed in the measuring device assembly
or the console display. When in operation the display shows the heart's activity in
beats/minute.
WARNING
Danger of Electrical Disturbance!
Using the transmitter from the heart rate monitor in conjunction with an elec-
tric pacemaker may cause electrical interference and influence the functionali-
ty. This could cause a health hazard.
► Never use the heart rate monitor together with an electric pacemaker.
7.4.1 Applying the Chest Strap
The sensor / transmitter is to be worn below the chest and above the abdomen,
preferably directly on the skin (not over clothing). The transmitter should be applied
centrally below the chest muscles. After the belt is fastened, pull it away from the
chest by stretching the strap and moistening the conductive electrode strips which
are located below the buttons. The transmitter operates automatically while it is
worn. It does not work if the connection between the transmitter and the body is
broken. After you have removed the transmitter, wash the belt with a mild deter-
gent in warm water and rinse thoroughly with clean water. However, since the
transmitter can be activated by moisture, it should be wiped dry after cleaning.
Never clean the surfaces of the transmitter with force.
