Monitoring Your Heart Rate

RIDING YOUR ELLIPTICAL

Breathe in a regular and relaxed manner. Many exercisers do not breathe enough, which reduces their exercise capacity and comfort. You might want to try breathing deeper and more frequently to see if it helps your exercise regime.

The Z5 Elliptical can monitor your heart rate using a chest strap that transmits your heart rate to the elliptical via radio.

Although your elliptical functions fine without using the heart rate monitoring feature, this kind of monitoring gives you valuable feedback on your effort level. Chest strap monitoring also allows you to use Heart Rate Control, which is the most advanced exercise control system available.
