Using the Chest Strap Monitor

CHAPTER ONE: RIDING YOUR BIKE

When you wear a Polar® or compatible transmitter strap, the bike will display your heart rate as a digital beats-per-minute (bpm) readout.

The transmitter strap should be worn directly against your skin, about one inch below the pectoral muscles/breast line (see picture below). Women should be careful to place the transmitter be- low their bra line.

Some moisture is necessary between the strap and your skin. Sweat from your exer- cise works best, but ordinary tap water may be used prior to your workout if desired.

Examples of Heart Rates

An average 30-year-old might have a resting heart rate, when sitting totally still for several minutes, of 65. During hard exercise that can be sustained for 10 to 15 minutes it might be around 140 continuously. A maximum heart rate that requires maximal exercise for several minutes to attain is 185.

A30-year-old in good shape might have a resting heart rate near 55, and might exercise for 20 minutes at a heart rate of 160.

Aworld-class distance runner or professional cyclist might have a resting heart rate near 45.
