You can measure your heart rate and find the proper level of exercise intensity using the electronic monitor (see the ELECTRONIC MONITOR OPERATION GUIDE.) First, set the monitor for 4 minutes. Press the "START/STOP" key and exercise at a comfortable pace until the 4 minutes elapse. Immediately measure your heart rate using the Pulse function. If your heart rate is below your training zone, increase your level of exertion. If your heart rate is too high, reduce your level of exertion. THE WORKOUT Each workout should begin with at least 5 minutes of stretching or light calisthenics. Warming up in this manner prepares the body for more strenuous exercise by increasing circulation, delivering more oxygen to the muscles, and raising the body temperature. The warm-up should be followed by 20-30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your training zone. Each workout should end with at least 5 minutes of stretching or light exercise to aid circulation and prevent soreness. To maintain or improve your conditioning, you must exercise 2-3 times per week as described above. A day of rest between workouts is recommended. After a few months of exercising, the number of workouts can be increased to 4-5 per week. The key to achieving successful results is consistency. 9
