Ready to get going with heart rate training using your Garmin® watch? When toggled on and with an active iFIT membership, ActivePulse™ uses your heart rate information to automatically adjust workouts to keep you in the right heart rate zone. This helps keep every sweat session productive and a step toward your fitness goals! To send your heart rate data from your Garmin watch to your treadmill, it must be set to "broadcast" mode. Here's how to do it on a Garmin Forerunner® 165 Watch:
1. Press START.
2. Select an activity.
3. Press UP.
4. Select the activity settings.
5. Select Broadcast Heart Rate. The Forerunner watch starts broadcasting your heart rate data in the background. NOTE: There is no indication that the watch is broadcasting your heart rate data during an activity.
6. Begin the activity (Starting an Activity).
1. Start an iFIT workout.
2. During the warmup, select the settings wheel in the bottom right-hand corner.
3. Select Bluetooth.
4. Select your Garmin watch.
Note: The pairing instructions differ for each Garmin® device. See your owner's manual.
