Polar Books

With a Polar heart rate monitor (also called pulse monitor, pulsometer or pulse watch) you can easily ensure that you always work out within your ideal training and intensity range. This enables you to reach not only your personal fitness goal, but also an improved physical condition in general. If you want to get in shape, it is most important to train at the appropriate intensity level, i.e not to challenge yourself too much or too little. The intensity can be controlled best with the heart rate. Every Polar heart rate monitor consists of a wristband receiver and a comfortable chest strap transmitter.

Simple units show your heart rate, whereas higher models show the time of day and training time and make sure through acoustic alarm signals that you do not exceed or fall short of your chosen pulse limits and therefore are training at the optimal training level. Storing workout data helps you to evaluate your workout.
