Indoor Activities

The epix device can be used for training indoors, such as
running on an indoor track or using a stationary bike.
GPS is turned off for indoor activities. When running with GPS
turned off, speed, distance, and cadence are calculated using
the accelerometer in the device. The accelerometer is self-
calibrating. The accuracy of the speed, distance, and cadence
data improves after a few outdoor runs using GPS.

Fitness Goals

Knowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and
improve your fitness by understanding and applying these
principles.
• Your heart rate is a good measure of exercise intensity.
• Training in certain heart rate zones can help you improve
cardiovascular capacity and strength.
• Knowing your heart rate zones can prevent you from
overtraining and can decrease your risk of injury.
If you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table
(Heart Rate Zone
Calculations) to determine the best heart rate
zone for your fitness objectives.
If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the
calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms and health
centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate.
The default maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age.

About Heart Rate Zones

Many athletes use heart rate zones to measure and increase
their cardiovascular strength and improve their level of fitness. A
heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five
commonly accepted heart rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5
according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are
calculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate.

Setting Your Heart Rate Zones

The device uses your user profile information from the initial
setup to determine your default heart rate zones. The device
has separate heart rate zones for running and cycling. For the
most accurate calorie data during your activity, set your
maximum heart rate. You can also set each heart rate zone and
enter your resting heart rate manually. You can manually adjust
your zones on the device or using your Garmin Connect
account.

your personal abilities. If you know your functional threshold
power (FTP) value, you can enter it and allow the software to

account.

Activity Tracking

Turning On Activity Tracking

The activity tracking feature records your daily step count, step
goal, distance traveled, and calories burned for each recorded
day. Your calories burned includes your base metabolism plus
activity calories.
Activity tracking can be enabled during the initial device setup,
or at any time.
