Sizing and Fit
Proper fit is essential for accurate heart rate monitoring. Measure your forearm circumference to select the correct armband size.

To determine your size:
- Measure the circumference of your forearm approximately 3 to 4 finger-widths below your elbow crease.
- Compare your measurement to the following guidelines:
- Small Armband: For forearm circumferences 7.5 to 10.5 inches (19 to 27 cm).
- Large Armband: For forearm circumferences 10.5 to 13.5 inches (27 to 34 cm).
Ensure the armband is snug but comfortable, allowing for consistent skin contact without restricting circulation.

Operating Instructions
Wearing the Band
Wear the armband on your forearm, approximately 3-4 finger-widths below your elbow crease. The sensor should be positioned on the fleshy part of your forearm, not directly over bone.

Understanding LED Lights and Vibrations
The band features easy-to-read rainbow LED lights and band vibrations to provide real-time feedback on your heart rate zone.

The specific color patterns and vibrations correspond to different heart rate zones, allowing you to optimize your intensity levels during your workout.
Tracking Strive Score
The Strive Score measures the amount of time you spend in each heart rate zone. This metric helps you understand how hard you are working and compare your performance across various workouts on the Peloton App, Bike, Tread, or Guide.
