EXERCISING WITH TUNTURI ::

No matter what your goal, you’ll get the best results by training at the right level of effort, and the best measure is your own heart-rate. First find your maximum heart-rate, i.e. where the rate doesn’t increase with added effort. If you don’t know your maximum heart-rate, please use the following formula as a guide:

Women: 226 - age Men: 220 - age

These are average values and the maximum varies from person to person. The maximum heart-rate diminishes on average by one point per year. If you belong to a risk group, ask a doctor to measure your maximum heart rate for you.

We have defined three different heart-rate zones to help you with targeted training.

Beginner: 50-60 % of maximum heart rate

Also suitable for weight-watchers, convalescents and those who haven’t exercised for a long time. Three sessions a week of at least a half-hour each is recommended.

Trainer: 60-70 % of maximum heart rate

Perfect for improving and maintaining fitness. You should train 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!

Active trainer: 70-80 % of maximum heart rate

Exercise at this level suits only the fittest and presupposes a long history of exercising.

PULSE MEASUREMENT ::

1.Push the ear sensor connector into the interface connector.

2.Attach the ear sensor to your earlobe.

3.Attach the sensor wire to your shirt with the clip provided. This prevents the sensor and wire from moving, which may interfere with measuring.

If there are problems in pulse measurement:

::The display shows - - instead of the heart rate.

::Check how the sensor works while not pedalling.

::Try measuring on the inside surface of the ear or on the tip of your finger.

::Rub the earlobe with your fingers to quicken circulation.

::If pulse values rise above 150 beats/min., earlobe measurement may be affected by the faster circulation.

::Sometimes a strong light source in the immediate vicinity of the user may cause disturbances. Turn the ear sensor the other way around on your earlobe.

Keep the ear sensor clean. Clean the ear sensor after use with a damp cloth and dry carefully.

You can buy a heart-rate belt for telemetric measurement from your Tunturi dealer as an accessory. Due to its reliability we recommend the heart-rate belt.
