5. EXERCISE GUIDE
PLEASE NOTE: Before beginning any exercise program, consult you
physician. This is important especially if you are over the age of 35 or
individuals with pre-existing health problems.
The pulse sensors are not medical devices. Various factors, including the
user's movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The
pulse sensors are intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart
rate trends in general.
Exercising is great way to control your weight, improving your fitness and reduce
the effect of aging and stress. The key to success is to make exercise a regular and
enjoyable part of your everyday life.
The condition of your heart and lungs and how efficient they are in delivering
oxygen via your blood to your muscles is an important factor to your fitness. Your
muscles use this oxygen to provide enough energy for daily activity. This is called
aerobic activity. When you are fit, your heart will not have to work so hard. It will
pump a lot fewer times per minute, reducing the wear and tear of your heart.
So as you can see, the fitter you are, the healthier and greater you will feel.
