Optimal Walking

Walking exercise with aerobic step rhythm anytime, anywhere

① Enter your age, height, weight, and resting heart rate.
Resting heart rate (pulse) is the lowest heart rate when you are not physically active.
Measure your pulse rate by sitting in a chair and resting after waking up in the morning.Measure your pulse rate at the height of your heart for 15 seconds and multiply by 4.
Press the radial artery with your left three fingertips and take the pulse.

② Exercise intensity setting input is an intensity setting of 30 to 60%.
Exercise intensity is determined by the purpose of exercise.
50% = Optimum intensity for fat burning and blood sugar control without excessive stress on cardiopulmonary function
30% = optimal intensity for recovery from significant physical loss
40% = Optimal intensity for introducing exercise or breaking away from chronic inactivity
60% = Optimum intensity for acquiring exercise habits and improving muscle strength and physical fitness *If you are doing this for the purpose of improving your disease, it is a good idea to refer to advice from your family doctor etc.

③ Display of target heart rate during exercise.
The range of target heart rate during exercise that is adapted to each exercise intensity is displayed.

④ BPM display.
BPM is displayed as the number of steps per minute adapted to each exercise intensity.
BPM of 100 to 110 steps/min increases the stride length and arm swing (elbow extension), resulting in a "relaxed walk"
BPM 110-120 steps/min: ``Stay steady'' with long strides and arm swings (slightly bent elbows)
BPM 120-130 steps/min is "walking powerfully" with steps and arm swings leading the way.
If the BPM exceeds 134 steps/min, it is considered light jogging (running).

⑤ Display of exercise intensity level Mets.
Exercise intensity is expressed in units called Mets.
1 Mets is sitting on a chair
If you stand up, it will be 1.5Mets, which is 1.5 times that amount.
2.0 Mets when walking slowly indoors,
Climbing stairs costs about 5.0Mets.
BPM ranges from 3.0 to 4.5 Mets.

⑥ Display of exercise time and exercise calorie consumption.
Displays step rhythm walk time and calories burned from start to stop.
