Perfect for improving and maintaining fitness. Even reasonable effort develops the heart and lungs effectively, training for a minimum of 30 minutes at least three times a week. To improve your condition still further, increase either frequency or effort, but not both at the same time!

Rest is as important as exercise in a fitness program. If you for instance exercise conscientiously for three weeks, it’s good to make the following week a little lighter.
PULSE MEASUREMENT WITH
HAND GRIP PULSE
NOTE! The hand grip pulse measurement functions with the transmitter box switch in ON position. If you wish to use the Polar belt for heart rate measurement, switch the hand grip pulse
to OFF position. Pulse is measured by the hand grip sensors in the handlebars. Pulse is measured when the user of E60R is touching both sensors simultaneously. Pulse measurement requires that the skin is constantly touching the sensors and that the skin is slightly moist. NOTE! If you use a heart rate controlled exercise or if the accuracy of heart rate information is important to you, we recommend heart rate measurement with the Polar belt; unlike with the heart rate belt, the accuracy of pulse measurement may vary considerably from person to person.
TELEMETRIC HEART RATE MEASUREMENT
This equipment has a built in pulse receiver, which is compatible with a telemetric pulse transmitter.
NOTE! If you are fitted with a pacemaker, please consult a physician before using a wireless heart rate monitor.
If you want to measure your heart rate this way during your workout, moisten the grooved electrodes on the transmitter belt with saliva or water. Fasten the transmitter just below the chest with the elastic belt, firmly enough so that the electrodes remain in contact with the skin while pedaling, but not so tight that normal breathing is prevented. If you wear the transmitter and belt over a light shirt, moisten the shirt slightly at the points where the electrodes touch the shirt. The transmitter automatically transmits the
1 meter. The
REMARKS ON TELEMETRIC
MEASUREMENT
If the electrode surfaces are not moist, the heart rate reading will not appear on the display. If the electrodes are dry, they must be moistened again. Allow the electrodes to warm up properly to ensure accurate
When selecting training attire, please note that some fibers used in clothes (e.g. polyester, polyamide) create static electricity, which may prevent reliable heart rate measurement.
