Before beginning a regular exercise program consult your doctor

•if you are over 40 years of age and have not been following a regular exercise program during the past 5 years

•if you smoke

•if you have high blood pressure

•if you have high blood cholesterol

•if you have any signs or symptoms of any disease

•if you are recovering from a serious illness or a medical treatment e.g. surgery

•if you use a pacemaker or another implanted electronic device.

Note also that in addition to exercise intensity the heart rate can be affected by, amongst others, heart, circulation (particularly high blood pressure) and asthma and other breathing medications, as well as some energy drinks, alcohol and nicotine.

It is important to be sensitive to your body’s

reactions during the exercise. If you feel unexpected pain or tiredness regarding your exercise intensity level, it is recommended to stop the exercise or continue

at a lighter intensity.

Notice to persons with pacemakers, defibrillator or other implanted electronic device.

Persons who have a pacemaker use the Polar Heart Rate Monitor at their own risk. Before starting use, we always recommend an exercise test under doctor’s supervision. The test is to ensure the safety and reliability of the simultaneous use of the pacemaker and the heart rate monitor.
