TRAINING INFORMATION

HOW THE HEART RATE MONITOR HELPS YOU

A heart rate monitor is the most important tool in cardiovascular health and an ideal training partner. It enables you to see and monitor results. This helps you assess your past performance, maximise your work out and adapt your future exercise program to achieve your desired goals in a safer and more effective way.

When you exercise, the chest belt picks up your heartbeat and sends it to the watch. Now you can view your heart rate and start monitoring your performance based on your heart rate readings. As you get fitter, your heart will need to do less work and the speed of your heart rate will decrease. The reason for this is as follows:

Your heart pumps blood to your lungs to obtain oxygen. Then, the oxygen rich blood will travel to your muscles. The oxygen is used as fuel and the blood leaves the muscles and returns to the lungs to begin the process again. As you get fit, your heart is able to pump more blood with every beat. As a result, your heart doesn't have to beat as often to get the necessary oxygen to your muscles.
