Small Group Heart Rate Zone Training with Scoreboard

Coach

  • In tools, tap ‘Connect Bluetooth Sensors’. Connect to the first participant’s Heart Rate device. The first time you add a device, tap again after it’s connected to enter custom nickname and HR max*, if known. Repeat for each additional participant.
  • Plan and Play your profile using Display Types for the data you want to see on the screen for each cue. You can tap and hold a Display Type to add it to all cues in the current track. Turn device to landscape for Scoreboard view or use AirPlay on a large display for the best results.
  • Scoreboard provides a large block with the current cue’s text and color and a smaller block for each participant which shows their Heart Rate, current % of HR max* and Zone color. It also shows workout progress, track progress and a countdown timer to the next cue.

Each Participant

  • Each Small Group Participant uses a Bluetooth LE capable Heart Rate wearable device. 
  • To help your coach correctly identify each participant, wait for your coach’s cue to activate the device.
  • As the session progresses, use the Scoreboard to see your current heart rate and percentage of maximun by color:
    • Cyan = 55% or less
    • Green = 56% – 65%
    • Yellow = 66% – 75% 
    • Orange = 76% – 85%
    • Red = 86% or greater 

Individual Heart Rate Zone Training

  • In Tools, tap ‘Connect Bluetooth Sensors’, connect your Heart Rate device, tap again to adjust your nickname and Heart Rate Max* if necessary.

    • Yellow = 66% – 75%
