WHY LISTEN TO YOUR BODY?

Whether you want to train to improve your performance or simply want to lead a healthier lifestyle, the most effective way to do both is to listen to your body. Of course, if you have no way of understanding it, you have no way of knowing what it’s telling you. That's why Polar heart rate and activity monitors are so essential – they help you listen and understand your body more effectively.

But how do they work? Well, as you get fitter by training with your heart rate monitor, your heart is able to pump more blood with every beat. The upshot of this is that your heart doesn’t have to beat as often to get the required oxygen to your muscles, which in turn decreases your resting and exercise heart rate. As a result of training, your muscles utilize the oxygen better, meaning you can put more effort in and still maintain the same heart rate.

On the other hand, with activity monitoring you can measure your health beneficial movement and track your activity level to accurately record information about your active time, intensity and calorie expenditure.

When all of these things happen, Polar products make sense of it all so that you are in tune with your body to act on what its really telling you.

And that leads to a healthier, fitter you.
