So you’ve decided to start training – good for you! You’ll be fit in no time. But your training program needs to also include monitoring your heart and Polar heart rate monitors are the best way to do just that!
The harder you exercise the faster your hear beats. By directly measuring your heart rate during exercise you can best gauge your performance and the intensity of the workout your heart is receiving. It’s the perfect training partner!
When you begin training your heart rate rapidly increases according to the intensity of the training. With the Polar heart rate monitors the transmitter belt is placed around your chest. This transmitter detects the electrocardiogram or ECG signal from your heart and then sends this information to the wrist receiver which looks like a watch.
Polar offers a variety of different style monitors and it can be bit overwhelming trying to determine which is the best one for you. Not to worry! We’ll help you understand the difference between these monitors. In fact we’ll turn you into a heart rate monitor pro in no time at all.
Whether you’re a runner, a walker, an amateur or a professional monitoring your heart rate during exercise is important. If you suffer from CHF, have a heart condition, are recovering from bypass surgery, have had a heart attack, or have any other cardiac condition a heart rate monitor is a must have for your exercise program.
If you are new to exercising the gym can be a bit daunting with all that equipment you need to figure out. Well you can be sure to keep your heart safe just by figuring out 60% of your target zone and then programming it into your monitor. One less thing to worry about!
Just strap the transmitter around your chest, place the watch on your wrist
and your set! The transmitter is designed to pick up signals
from your heart. It’s rather like a basic ECG. It then
sends these signals to the watch where you can see the
readings at a glance. Its wireless so it’s convenient
and the readings are continuous.
