How To Use A Heart Rate Monitor

By Matt Kirchner

.

So what I'm going ot do is explain to you a little bit about how a Heart Monitor works. To set up your Heart Rate Monitor notice I have a wrist watch and you'll also have a strap that comes around your chest. You want it lined up on your sternum. That strap is going to take a signal from you heart, send it to the watch and it's going to read your heart rate. Now, the nice thing about these is you can wear it when you exercise or you can wear it during daily activities—like mowing the lawn, shoveling snow or even laying on the couch watching t.v. Incorporate in into your exercise program and you'll be on your way to success.
