Fitness goals
Knowing your heart rate zones can help
you measure and improve your fitness
by understanding and applying these
principles.
• Your heart rate is a good measure of
exercise intensity.
• Training in certain heart rate zones
can help you improve cardiovascular
capacity and strength.
• Knowing your heart rate zones can
prevent you from overtraining and can
decrease your risk of injury.
If you know your maximum heart rate, you
can use the table (
) to determine
the best heart rate zone for your fitness
objectives.
If you do not know your maximum heart
rate, use one of the calculators available
on the Internet. Some gyms and health
centers can provide a test that measures
maximum heart rate.

Foot Pod
Your Forerunner is compatible with the
foot pod. You can use the foot pod to send
data to your Forerunner when training
indoors, when your GPS signal is weak, or
when you lose satellite signals. The foot
pod is on standby and ready to send data
as soon as you install it or start moving.
You must pair the foot pod with your
Forerunner (
).
When the battery is low, a message
appears on your Forerunner.
Approximately five hours of battery life
remain.
Choosing Your Speed Source
If you plan to train outdoors, you can set
the Forerunner to use foot pod data to
calculate pace rather than using GPS.
