Getting the Best Results Possible
Chapter One: Riding Your Bike
For Best
Results
1. Exercise with smooth body motions. Avoid excessive
body motion, especially in your arms and upper body.
2. Breathe smoothly and regularly, and avoid talking. (Talk-
ing will cause unrepresentative heart rate spikes of 5 to
10 bpm.)
3. Grip the pads lightly, not tightly.
4. Make sure your hands are clean, free of both dirt and
hand lotions.
When using a HRC workout, it is best to use chest strap
monitoring. These workouts work best with the extra accuracy
gained from a chest-contact heart rate monitoring system.
