PULSEGRIPS Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for your heart rate to register, It takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds) for your heart rate to register, Whengripping i iii_ i the pulse handlebars, do not grip tightly` Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Keep a loose, cupping hold. Youmay experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the grip pulse handlebars. Make sure to clean the pulse sensors to ensure proper contact can be maintained.

Regardlessof your long term goals, always begin an exerciseprogram at low intensity. Aerobic exercisefloesnot have to be painful to be beneficial! Thereare two ways to measure your exerciseintensity. The first is by monitoring your heart rate using the grip pulse handlebars and the second is by evaluating your perceived exertion level (this is simpler than it sounds!)
