Wearing
a Chest
Strap
The transmitter strap should
be worn directly against your
skin, about one inch below the
pectoral muscles/breast line
(see photo). Women should be
careful to place the strap below
their bra line.
Some moisture is necessary be-
tween the strap and your skin.
Sweat from your exercise works
best, but ordinary tap water can
be used prior to your workout
for the best results.
Tips for Contact Heart Rate Monitoring:
1. Grasp the contact heart rate pads on the balance bar. Grip
the pads lightly, not tightly.
2. Make sure your hands are clean, free of both dirt and hand
lotions.
Tips for All Heart Rate Monitoring:
1. Exercise with smooth body motions.
2. Breathe smoothly and regularly, and avoid talking.
Talking will cause unrepresentative heart rate spikes of
5 to 10 beats per minute.
