Instructions for the Reebok Heart Rate Monitor
A heart rate monitor is a wise accessory for anyone who is attempting to become physically fit, lose weight by changing food intake and beginning to exercise, or when participating in a new sport. It allows you to control your intensity in physical activity to avoid muscle soreness, strains and overexertion. Monitoring your heart rate differs from your pulse rate because it enables you to measure the contractions of your heart over a period of time, according to HeartMonitor.com. Reebok makes two models. Both include a wrist attachment, referred to as "Strapless." However, one comes with a wireless chest strap that wraps around your body.
