How you start with your exercise program depends on your physical condition. If you have not exercised
for some years or are overweight, you should start slowly and increase your training regime slowly and
gradually.
Please note the following essential points:
• If your doctor has prescribed a workout and nutrition program for you, you should follow that advice.
• Start your training program slowly and set realistic goals.
• Monitor your pulse. Keep your optimal workout heart rate based on your age and your condition.
• Place the device on a flat, level surface at least 0.6 metres apart from walls and furniture.
Training Intensity:
To maximize the benefits of training, it is important to train with the right intensity. This value can be
determined based on your heart rate. For effective aerobic exercise, the value during exercise should be
between 65% and 85% of your maximum heart rate. This should be your target zone. Your target zone
can be found in the table below.
During the first months of your exercise program, keep your heart rate near the lower end of your target
zone when you exercise. After a few months you can slowly increase your heart rate during training so
that it is approximately in the middle of your target zone.
To measure your heart rate, pause your workout, but move your legs
or even run around. Put two fingers inside on your wrist. Count your
pulse beat for 6 seconds and multiply the result by 10. (You should
only count for 6 seconds, because your heart rate drops rapidly when
you stop exercising.) Adjust the intensity of your workout until your
heart rate is at the right level using this 6 second method.
