Fitness Goals Knowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and improve your fitness by understanding and applying these principles. • Your heart rate is a good measure of exercise intensity. • Training in certain heart rate zones can help you improve cardiovascular capacity and strength. • Knowing your heart rate zones can prevent you from overtraining and can decrease your risk of injury. If you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table (page 49) to determine the best heart rate zone for your fitness objectives. If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms and health centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate. More Heart Rate Options • Heart rate alerts (page 9) • Heart rate zone calculations (page 49) • Heart rate data fields (page 36) • Heart rate troubleshooting (page 48) Foot Pod Your Forerunner is compatible with the foot pod. You can use the foot pod to send data to your Forerunner when training indoors, when your GPS signal is weak, or when you lose satellite signals. The foot pod is on standby and ready to send data as soon as you install it or start moving. You must pair the foot pod with your Forerunner (page 22). When the battery is low, a message appears on your Forerunner. Approximately five hours of battery life remain. Choosing Your Speed Source If you plan to train outdoors, you can set the Forerunner to use foot pod data to calculate pace rather than using GPS. 1 Select MODE > Settings > Run Settings > Foot Pod > Yes. 2 Select Speed Source > Foot Pod. 24 ANT+ Sensors
