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. Regular exercise considerably improves beginners’ respiratory and circulatory performance and you will quickly feel your improvement.

TRAINER: 60-70 % of maximum heart-rate

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!

ACTIVE TRAINER: 70-80 % of maximum heart-rate

Exercise at this level suits only the fittest and presupposes long-endurance workouts.

USE

ADJUSTING RESISTANCE

You can increase or decrease resistance by turning the adjuster knob on the front frame. Turn the adjustment knob clockwise (+ direction) to increase resistance and counterclockwise (- direction) to decrease resistance. The scale above the knob (1-8) helps you find and reset a suitable resistance.

TELEMETRIC HEART RATE MEASUREMENT

The console has a heart rate receiver compatible with Polar equipment, so you can also use Polar uncoded heart rate belts for heart rate measurement. The most reliable heart rate measurement is achieved with a telemetric device, in which the electrodes of the transmitter fastened to the chest transmit the pulses from the heart to the console by means of an electromagnetic field.

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 exercising, but not so tight that

normal breathing is prevented. Attach the transmitter and adjust the flexible belt to an appropriate tightness below chest level so that the electrodes are in contact with the skin during exercise. 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 heart rate reading to the console up to a distance of about 1 m.

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 warm up properly to ensure accurate heart rate measurement. The transmitter is switched to an active state only when it is being used for measurement. Sweat and other moisture can, however, keep the transmitter in an active state and waste battery energy. Therefore it is important to dry the electrodes carefully after use.

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. Please note that a mobile phone, television and other electrical appliances form an electromagnetic field around them, which will cause problems in heart rate measurement.

R25 specifications

The Tunturi R25 is a versatile and robust air rower designed for both fitness enthusiasts and professional athletes. With its combination of modern technology, user-friendly interface, and durable construction, the R25 ensures an effective and enjoyable workout experience.

One of the standout features of the Tunturi R25 is its air resistance system. This technology allows users to experience a smooth rowing action that mimics the feel of rowing on water. As the user pulls the handle, a fan flywheel creates resistance that can be adjusted simply by changing the rowing speed. This means that the harder you row, the greater the resistance, providing a dynamic workout that can cater to varying fitness levels.

The Tunturi R25 is equipped with an impressive LCD monitor that displays essential workout metrics such as time, distance, strokes per minute, and calories burned. This feature allows users to effectively track their performance and progress over time, making it easier to set and achieve fitness goals. Additionally, the monitor has programmable workouts, allowing users to customize their training sessions according to their preferences.

Durability is another key characteristic of the Tunturi R25. Built with a sturdy steel frame, this rowing machine is designed to withstand rigorous training sessions. The high-quality seat and ergonomic handle ensure a comfortable rowing experience, reducing the risk of injury and allowing for longer workouts. The adjustable footrests provide added comfort and security for users of different sizes.

Portability is a notable aspect of the R25. Its folding design allows users to easily store the machine when not in use, making it suitable for home gyms with limited space. Transport wheels also enhance its mobility, allowing users to relocate the rower with ease.

In summary, the Tunturi R25 air rower offers a comprehensive range of features that cater to users at all fitness levels. Its air resistance system delivers a challenging and engaging workout, while the LCD monitor provides valuable feedback on performance. The solid construction and user-friendly design make it a reliable choice for those looking to improve their cardiovascular fitness and overall strength. Whether for casual rowing or intense training sessions, the Tunturi R25 stands out as a premium rowing machine that meets the needs of diverse users.
