Exercising with the BF-1

The BF-1 is a unique music player designed speciﬁcally for

listening while exercising. It features a variety of sophisticated

functions that tailor the music to your exercising. The BF-1

monitors your heart beat and walking/jogging steps, and

automatically selects music of exactly the right tempo for your

exercise. It also gives you comprehensive, detailed training

programs that use the music and tempo to fully guide you

through an exercise session—like an expert coach or trainer.

The BF-1 has three basic Exercise modes: Free Workout, Walk/

Jog Fitness, and Training.
