With a Polar Heart Rate Monitor watch you can log on and access the Polar FlowLink personal trainer site for advice, reviews on your workout and even get suggestions.  It’s like having your own personal trainer without the cost!

You can take your heart monitor watch, tell it your age, fill in your present fitness level and then set a unique training programme, designed just for you.

This is a very important aspect of training. The right programme.  If you go at it too hard, you risk damaging yourself, you may also need to terminate the session before it ends and lose out the real benefits gained from seeing a session through.

Likewise, if you have mistakenly embarked on a training session that is too easy for you, then you will have wasted that session as it will bring no real gain.

It sounds complicated but a  polar heart rate monitor watch can assist with this.  It will help you design a training routine that is suitable and sensible, making it easy for you to follow.
