SMART CALORIES

The most accurate calorie counter on the market calculates the number of calories burned. The energy expenditure calculation is based on:

•Body weight, height, age, gender

•Individual maximum heart rate (HRmax)

•Heart rate during training

•Activity measurement outside of training sessions and when you train without heart rate

•Individual maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max)

VO2max tells about your aerobic fitness. You can find out your estimated VO2max with the Polar Fit- ness Test.

ENERGY POINTER

The EnergyPointer is a simple feature that visually shows you what the main effect of your training is - fat burn- ing or improving fitness. It helps you focus on what you want to achieve.
