Polar Watches – “Listen to your Body”
Tis the season! If you browse fitness related blogs, Facebook, Twitter or Instagram pages, you have seen people take pics of a watch on their wrist reflecting their hardwork & calorie burn. Those watches are made by Polar USA & needless to say we were excited when one appeared in our mailbox yesterday compliments of Polar! We often wondered how they worked & what it took to implement it properly while exercising. So when the opportunity presented itself, we quickly jumped on it:)
The model we received was the Polar FT 40. Below is some of the info as taken from the website
For active exercisers who want clear guidance and to monitor their fitness level.
- The EnergyPointer tells you if the main effect of your training is fitness improvement or fat burning
- The Polar Fitness test measures your aerobic fitness at rest and tells you your progress
- Displays calories burned
- Comes with comfortable fabric transmitter and coded heart rate transmission to avoid cross-talk
So expect to see future posts on here as we put the Polar FT 40 through its paces with our weight training and prowler workouts 🙂
