Heart rate training
This section is just a general overview of training with heart rate data. For more complete
information, there are books and websites with more in-depth information.
Generally, the heart rate increases during exercise, getting higher in conjunction with the
intensity of the workout. Measurement the rate of your heart beat is a good indicator of
the intensity of your workout. By setting target HR (heart rate) zones and sticking to pre-
set exercises, you will be able to work out more efficiently. Before beginning a training
program, be sure to first consult a medical specialist or sports trainer.
1. Improving general fitness
Bicycling is one of the best activities to improve your general fitness. To improve your
overall fitness through bicycling, set a target heart rate zone from between 30% and 70%
of your maximum HR, depending on your physical strength. For best results, exercise
consistently in this zone for periods of at least 20-30 minutes, 3 or more times a week.
To obtain your target zone, see the table below, which illustrates the correlation be-
tween heart rate and training level. For beginners, it is recommended to start with the
level of 30% of your max. From this point, gradually increase the level according to
your fitness level and experience. Training at levels over 70% of your HR max will
focus more on anaerobic exercise, and less on aerobic exercise. Weight loss usually
occurs through longer rides (over 1 hour) at lower HR levels.

Setting the target heart rate zone
You can select the target heart rate zone, and change the upper/lower limit.
* Stop measurement and perform the resetting operation (page 17) before you can
change the target heart rate zone. Unless you perform the resetting operation, “DATA
RESET” appears on the screen, preventing from changing the target heart rate zones.
* For details of the target zone, see “Use of the target zone” (page 37).
1. Press the MENU button in the measurement screen to
switch to the menu top screen.
Switch to the HR.ZOne screen using the M1/+ and M2/-
buttons, and confirm with the SSE button.

2. Select one from OFF, I, 2, 3, or 4 for the target heart rate
zone using the M1/+ and M2/- buttons.
When using the target zone, select from 1 to 4, confirm with
the SSE button, and then proceed to Step 3.
When not using the target heart rate zone, select OFF, and
then proceed to Step 4.
Select the zone: M1/+

3. Enter the lower limit for the selected zone using the M1/+
and M2/- buttons, and enter the upper limit in the same way
after pressing the SSE button.

4. Pressing the MENU button returns to the menu top screen
(HR.ZOnE screen), and confirm the change(s).
Pressing it again returns to the measurement screen.

* You can enter any upper/lower limit to each zone; however, the upper limit is ad-
justed automatically to the lower limit + 1 when the entered lower limit exceeds the
upper limit. In case of the upper limit, vice versa, the lower limit is adjusted in the
same way.
* The upper limit is displayed with the digit in a small numeric when it exceeds 199.
