– Please ask your trainer or doctor in charge about your own upper and lower heart rate values for training purposes,
as well as how long and often you should exercise. This will allow you to achieve optimal results during training.

nitor after consulting their doctor.
3. General information for training
This heart rate monitor serves to measure the human pulse. By means of various settings, you can support your indi-
vidual training program and monitor your pulse. You should monitor your pulse during exercise because you should
prevent your heart from excessive strain on the one hand and on the other in order to achieve the optimal training re-
sults. The table provides you with some information on the selection of your training zone. The maximum heart rate re-
duces with advancing age. Information on the training heart rate must therefore always be in relation to the maximum
heart rate. The following rule of thumb is used for the identification of the maximum heart rate:
For men: 220 - age = maximum heart rate
For women: 226 - age = maximum heart rate
