Exercising with the BF-11
The BF-11 is a unique music player designed specifically for listening while exercising. It features a variety of sophisticated functions that tailor the music to your exercising. The BF-11 monitors your heart beat and walking/jogging steps, and automatically selects music of exactly the right tempo for your exercise. It also gives you comprehensive, detailed training programs that use the music and tempo to fully guide you through an exercise session—like an expert coach or trainer.
The BF-11 has three basic Exercise modes: Free Workout,
Walk/Jog Fitness, and Training.

Walking/Jogging at Your Own Pace—Free Workout Mode
Walking/Jogging at Your Own Pace—Free Workout
Mode
In the Free Workout mode, the BF-11 automatically matches the music to your exercise pace, selecting songs that have almost the same tempo as your jogging or walking speed. When you change pace, the music changes with you. This lets you jog freely and set your own pace—and enjoy music that perfectly fits your pace.
If you want to constrain the length of your exercise session, you can use the
Goal Setting parameters to automatically stop music playback once you’ve reached the desired target. You can set the target to be a specific time, a specific distance, or the amount of calories you wish to burn off. (Only one of the targets can be set and be in effect for a session.)
To call up the Free Workout mode:
Select “Free Workout” from the Top Menu.
BF-11 Owner’s Manual
25
Walking/Jogging at Your Own Pace—Free Workout Mode
Exercising with Free Workout
The Free Workout mode is an easy, convenient way to exercise using the versatile tempo changing features of the BF-11, since it automatically matches the music to your exercise pace. n
Keep in mind that it takes a few seconds to detect your pace and call up a song that matches your pace.
h
If you find that songs change frequently or few songs matching your pace are called up, adjust the sensitivity of the step sensor and/or the pace censor (
).
Operation
1
From the Free Workout menu, select “Start,” then start jogging or walking.
You can set the goal setting (targets for your exercise) and/or select a specific music playlist for the session. If you want to do so, select “Setting” here and go to
page 27 (Goal Setting and Music Selection).
Once you set the goal setting, it will be shown in the “Start” menu the next time you use the device, enabling you to continue with the same exercise settings as before.
n
If the pulse sensor is not attached properly or if your heart rate cannot be detected
(that is, when the LED is off), heart rate is not memorized in the exercise log
(
page 29 ). Reattach the pulse sensor properly and make sure that your pulse is being
measured. n
For playback of certain songs (and depending, of course, on the characteristics of those songs), you may find that the song tempo does not match your pace. If this is the case, you can manually correct the tempo information with the BODiBEAT Station software. For details, refer to the BODiBEAT Station Owner’s Manual.

Fitness Modes—Walk Fitness and Jog Fitness
Fitness Modes—Walk Fitness and Jog Fitness
The Fitness modes provide the most appropriate music playback for optimal aerobic exercise. In that sense, they are similar to the Free Workout mode.
However, they go much further, monitoring your heart rate and providing sophisticated ways of changing the music to give you a perfectly programmed, optimal aerobic workout—that matches your physical condition and the intensity of your exercise.
The built-in pulse sensor detects your heart rate as you exercise. Continuously and in real time, the BF-11 calculates the optimal exercise pace for you, given your physical condition—and then automatically changes the music to match your pace and heart rate. If your exercise is too strenuous and your heart rate is too high (higher than optimal), the BF-11 plays slower tempo music. Likewise, if your exercise is too easy and relaxed to provide adequate exercise benefits, the BF-11 plays faster music. This ensures that you get the best possible exercise—not too little, and not too much.
Each Fitness mode also features automatically programmed ‘warming up’ and
‘cooling down’ segments that effectively structure your exercise sessions and help you avoid unnatural stress and fatigue.
Since the Fitness modes monitor your heart rate, you will need to properly
attach the pulse sensor. (For instructions, see page 20 .) You will also need to
make sure other settings have been made, such as your actual age and resting heart rate (
There are two Fitness modes: Walk Fitness and Jog Fitness. Essentially, they function and operate exactly the same, except that Walk Fitness is specifically programmed for walking, while Jog Fitness is designed for the more strenuous and intense exercise you get while jogging. (However, slow tempo songs matched for walking may sometimes be played if your heart rate goes higher than optimal condition.)
To call up the Walk Fitness or Jog Fitness mode:
Select “Walk Fitness” or “Jog Fitness” from the Top Menu.

What is ‘Effective’ Aerobic Exercise?
Aerobic exercise, such as walking and jogging, builds up your cardiopulmonary functions and increases your stamina. Since stamina is a good measure of physical age, regular and continuous aerobic exercise can make your body more youthful.
Aerobic exercise is also very effective for losing weight. Oxygen brought into body breaks down and burns off fat. Moreover, as your exercising builds muscle mass and increases basal metabolism, your whole body and constitution loses more and more fat.
To achieve the maximum benefits of aerobic exercise, you should avoid merely jogging in any haphazard fashion, but be careful to set appropriate exercise intensity levels (i.e., the pace for walking/jogging) and exercise lengths.
Exercise intensity and heart rate
As you exercise, your heart rate rises. Since intense exercise increases your heart rate more significantly than light exercise, heart rate is a reliable indicator for exercise intensity. To achieve the desired effect of your exercise, it is important that you determine the target heart rate in advance and try to bring your heart rate up to this target during exercise.
How can you determine the proper target heart rate? There are various methods for calculating heart rate, but the BF-11 adopts a method using %HRR
(percentage of heart rate reserve). The %HRR figure assumes your resting heart rate as 0% and your maximum heart rate (heart rate during your most intense exercise) as 100%. For walking, a %HRR figure of 55 – 75% is optimal for aerobic exercise. For jogging, 65 – 75% is optimal. For the specific formula used to calculate your optimum target heart rate, see
n
The BF-11 calculates your heart rate according to the blood flow at your ear lobe detected by the included pulse sensor.
Using the Fitness modes, you can maintain the optimal heart rate during exercise without the need to be continually conscious of your heart rate, simply by entering your resting heart rate and maximum heart rate figures in advance.
When your heart rate dips below the optimal level, faster songs are played to naturally prompt you to increase your pace; likewise, when your heart rate exceeds the optimal level, slower songs are played to prompt you to decrease your pace. Thanks to this feature, you simply match your walking/jogging pace to the tempo of the music, and your optimal heart rate is maintained (refer to the graph below). You can also easily check whether your heart rate is optimal or not from the LED. When it is optimal (%HRR is 55 – 75%), it flashes in green. When lower than optimal, it flashes in blue. When higher than optimal, it flashes in red.

Warming up Cooling down
Exercise length
Exercise length
For best results, one exercise session should be at least fifteen minutes. Twenty minutes or more is recommended, because as long as you exercise, the proportion of fat-burning increases and remains high. When you are walking, more time is required for this than when jogging—roughly 30 – 40 minutes— because your heart rate increases more slowly than when jogging.
Warming up and cooling down
Warming up and cooling down is necessary not only for effective exercise but also for protection from injury and proper recovery from fatigue. Generally, bending and stretching, as well as minimum-stress exercises are good for warming up and cooling down. The Fitness modes of the BF-11 actually include warming up and cooling down segments to guide you naturally into lighter exercising. At the beginning of the exercise and at the end of the exercise, slower songs are automatically played back. Simply match your pace to the music playing, and you can warm up and cool down appropriately.
For safe exercise
Pay careful attention to the environment around you to avoid accidents.
• Exercise in locations of light or minimal traffic, such as a park or a jogging path.
• Exercise in broad daylight if possible. Exercising at dusk or after the sun goes down—or worse yet, at night—you may not be able to properly see dangerous obstacles, and other people or drivers may not be able to see you.
• When jogging, pay more attention to your environment than when walking. The faster you are moving, the greater the danger.

Exercising According to a Training Program—Training
Mode
In the Training mode, you can create more detailed structured exercise sessions and make custom programs to fit your individual exercise needs.
Preset Training programs are also available for certain exercise situations or goals. You can use these as a starting point. (You may want to inspect these programs within the included software, to more easily view the contents and the targets over the programmed exercise).
Each program in the Training mode contains several segments, each lasting for a specific amount of time or for a specific distance. Each segment also has a different target. This can be a certain intensity of exercise (as measured by heart rate reserve), a specific music tempo, a specific heart rate, or a specific pace (as measured by minutes: seconds per mile). Simply put, a Training program divides an exercise session into multiple parts, each programmed exactly to suit your exercise needs or fit a specific athletic training application.
You can create your own Training programs, and the included software gives you the tools to most easily and intuitively do this. Creating your own custom
Training programs gives you enormous flexibility and control over your exercise sessions. When used correctly, it’s almost like having a professional athletic coach by your side, telling you not only when to speed up and when to slow down, but exactly how much you should speed up or slow down—all the while playing your favorite music to keep you on program.

About heart rate reserve
Heart rate reserve (HRR) is a term used to describe the difference between a person’s resting heart rate (HR rest
) and maximum heart rate
(HR max
). The formula is:
HRR = HR max
– HR rest
The BF-11 actually measures and calculates the percentage of heart rate reserve (%HRR) and uses this as a measurement of exercise intensity.
By using %HRR as the exercise intensity, the optimal heart rate (HR) in exercising is calculated. The formula is:
HR = HRR x %HRR + HR rest
For example, if your HR max
is 180 bpm, HR rest
is 60 bpm and target
%HRR is 70%, the HR is calculated as:
HR = (180 – 60) x 0.7 + 60 = 144
After the Interval and Target setting is finished, the following display appears.
Interval Target n
When you select “Tempo” for the Target, “T” is appended to the value. When you select “HR” for the Target, “H” is appended to the value. (For example, “01.0mi-T170bpm” stands for “one mile at a tempo of 170 bpm.”)

Managing the Exercise Logs
Managing the Exercise Logs
Each time you exercise with the BF-11, a new exercise log is automatically generated, creating a record of important information about your exercise session and your physical conditions. This information includes the date and time of your session, the distance covered, the average pace of your walking/ jogging, the amount of calories you expended, and your maximum heart rate
(the highest recorded pulse during the session). The logs also provide two different graphs: one showing the changes in your pace during the session, the other showing changes in your heart rate during the same time.
Since your exercise logs are automatically stored to internal memory (up to 99 sessions), you can call up these logs and check your past exercise sessions.
This feature also lets you view cumulative data—for example, how much total distance you walked or ran in a specific week, or how many calories you expended during a specific month.
n
The BF-11 has memory space for up to 99 exercise session logs. When you exceed this number, the earliest ones will automatically be deleted to make room for the new logs. By using the included software to transfer your data to computer, you can store all your exercise logs and not need to worry about the 99-log limit.
From the Top Menu, select “Data.”
Checking the Exercise Logs
Operation

Normally, the BF-11 detects the exercise pace (tempo) when it recognizes your steps continuing at the same tempo within a certain range.
Operation
From the Sensors menu, select the Step Sensor parameter.
Available settings:
High Sensitivity, Normal Sensitivity, Low Sensitivity
“Normal” is the default setting and should be fine for most people and situations. If the BF-11 doesn’t seem to be responding properly, try changing the setting. Selecting “High” makes the detecting time of the exercise pace shorter. In the Free Workout mode, it takes less time to start playback of a song which matches to your exercise pace. Selecting “Low” makes the detecting time of the exercise pace longer. It takes more time to start playback of a song which matches to your exercise pace.
■
Pace Sensor
This allows you to tailor the response of the BF-11 to changes in your walking/jogging speed. In the Free Workout mode, the BF-11 recognizes that you intend to change the pace when you speed up or slow down the pace greater than a certain range. n
The setting here only applies to the Free Workout mode.
Operation
From the Sensors menu, select the Pace Sensor parameter.
Available settings:
High Sensitivity, Normal Sensitivity, Low Sensitivity
“Normal” is the default setting and should be fine for most people and situations. If the BF-11 doesn’t seem respond properly to changes in your walking/jogging speed, try changing the setting. Select “High” if the BF-11 doesn’t respond enough when you intend to increase or decrease the pace, or select “Low” if the BF-11 is responding too much when you don’t intend to change the pace.

Heart Rate
These parameters let you check your heart rate (pulse) and register your resting and maximum heart rates. Make sure the two readings are as accurate as possible. These maximum and resting heart rates are used in the Fitness and
Training modes to tailor the music and pace to your true physical condition.
■
Checking your resting heart rate and registering it
It is important for exercise and training purposes that you accurately measure your resting heart rate. The best time to measure it is in the morning, after a good night’s sleep, and before you get out of bed. The heart beats about 50 to 70 times a minute when we’re at rest and it’s generally lower in physically fit people. As you exercise and train with the
BF-11, you may want to regularly check your resting heart rate and change it when necessary.
Operation
1
From the User Settings menu, select the Heart Rate settings.
2
Make sure the pulse sensor is securely attached to your ear lobe
(see
Also, make sure you are truly resting, relaxed, and not following some strenuous activity.

Select “Check Heart Rate” in the Heart Rate settings menu.
Once your heart rate is measured, it is shown in the display.
The level indicator is shown at the bottom of the display. This indicates the detected level of your pulse over a range of 0 – 100. The higher value means your heart rate is correctly and strongly detected. If it seems that your pulse is not detected properly, try rubbing your ear robe to stimulate blood circulation or changing the pulse sensor location.

Changing the Heart Rate values
You can also change the Resting Heart Rate setting, by entering it manually instead of measuring it. The Maximum Heart Rate setting can be changed here as well.
F Y I
About Maximum Heart Rate
The Maximum Heart Rate is calculated from your age (220 – age) by default. However, as you exercise with the BF-11 in Fitness modes or
Training mode, the BF-11 monitors your pace and heart rate during exercise and calculates your maximum heart rate. If the value differs from your Maximum Heart Rate setting, you can update the setting with the new value. For your information, your physical age based on the maximum heart rate will be displayed together with the maximum heart rate. When an exercise session is finished, a confirmation prompt appears asking whether you want to update the Maximum Heart Rate setting or not (only when the Learning Function is on;
).

Learning Function
The BF-11 memorizes the skip/top count and analyzes the playback priority for each song. It also memorizes your manual pace change and calculates your optimal pace and maximum heart rate in the Fitness modes and Training mode.
These features are together called the Learning function.
When you change songs while exercising, the BF-11 memorizes the skip/top count—in other words, the number of times you skip over certain songs or go back to the top of certain songs—and determines the playback priority of the song. If a song has a high skip count (meaning you often skip it and go on to another song), it is given a lower playback priority. If a song has a high top count (meaning you often rewind back to the top of the song), it is given a higher playback priority.
When you change the pace manually while exercising, the BF-11 memorizes the pace changes and your heart rate and calculates your optimal starting pace, fastest pace and maximum heart rate. If the calculated maximum heart rate differs from the maximum heart rate setting you set before, you can manually register the new value to the BF-11.
If you change your pace manually or change songs while exercising, a confirmation message will appear when the workout reaches its end to prompt you to memorize the changed information. Select “Yes” to memorize. n
The playback priority is memorized for each exercise segment: warm up, during exercise, and cool down.

Troubleshooting
■
One song (or a few songs) is repeatedly played while exercising.
• There are few songs which match in tempo to your exercise pace in the BF-
11. Make sure to load more songs of the appropriate tempo from your computer or set the Music Priority setting to “Mix” or “BODiBEAT Songs”
(
■
Only the BODiBEAT songs are played back and songs I've loaded from my computer are not played back.
• Set the Music Priority setting to “User Songs” or “Mix” ( page 61 ). Even if
you’ve selected “User Songs” or “Mix”, playback may be limited to
BODiBEAT songs when there are no songs which match the tempo of your exercise pace. Make sure to load songs of the appropriate tempo from your computer.
■
After connecting with the computer, some information is changed (Training Programs, User Settings, etc.)
• Depending on the synchronize setting of BODiBEAT Station, the data on the
BODiBEAT Station will automatically transferred to the BF-11 and the information on the BF-11 will be replaced when you connect the BF-11 to the computer. For more information, refer to the BODiBEAT Station Owner’s
Manual.
■
In the Training mode, I set the appropriate target as “Pace” but the played song’s tempo seems to be different from the set pace.
• The pace is determined based on the jog stride setting. If the stride setting differs from your actual stride, the tempo of the song playing back while exercising may be too fast or too slow. Change the stride setting (
).
■
The distance of the exercise logs seems to be wrong.
• The distance you walk or jog is calculated based on your stride setting
(
page 73 ). Entering the exact value for your walking/jogging stride may
bring the calculated distance closer to the actual value.
■
The time of the exercise logs seem to be wrong.
• The clock of the BF-11 may go wrong or stop if you don’t use the BF-11 for a long period or you don’t adjust the time for a long period. To avoid this
situation, check the Date/Time setting frequently ( page 70 ).
■
A “Memory Full” message appears during creating/editing the training program and a new program/segment cannot be created.
• The number of programs/segments that can be saved to the BF-11 is limited
(refer to page 37 ). If a “Memory Full” message appears, save all programs
