Polar TEMPO Stop the Heart Rate Measurement, Exercising with Your Polar Heart Rate Monitor

1.Bring the face of the wrist receiver up to your chest near the transmitter’s Polar logo.

2.Hold the wrist receiver in this position 15 seconds.

After about 10 seconds, the exercise time starts flashing for 5 seconds.

The exercise time will be reset to 0:00.

When you move the wrist receiver further away from the transmitter the exercise time starts running again from 0:00.

A flashing elapsed time is a pre-warning that you are soon about to reset it. If you bring the wrist receiver further from the transmitter during the flashing, the elapsed time will not be reset.

Exercising with Your

Polar Heart Rate

Monitor

Regular exercise helps you to sustain and improve your health and fitness, as well as feel better. Exercising also has other great benefits. You can reduce stress, learn to know your body’s reactions and optimize your training time. Whether you are about to start a regular exercise program or you already do sports training, a Polar Heart Rate Monitor will help you to achieve your personal fitness goals in less time, and with greater safety.

The effect of your exercise program depends on four factors:

•Intensity of exercise

•Duration of exercise

•Frequency of exercise

•Type of activity

INTENSITY OF EXERCISE

Heart rate is proved to be an excellent indicator of exercise intensity. Heart rate tells you the exertion level of your body during physical or mental loading. With the Polar Heart Rate Monitor you are able to follow the intensity of your exercise easily, keep yourself in the right heart rate Target Zone and stay motivated as you see the improvement.

When a person’s cardiovascular condition improves, his heart rate stays in a lower level than before when doing similar exercise in a similar time period. Changes in the heart’s beating rate can be followed with a Polar Heart Rate Monitor wirelessly, continuously and ECG accurately.

Define your exercise intensity according to your target (e.g. weight loss = lower intensity and higher duration). When you exercise within the defined Target Zone, you ensure the right intensity of your workout.
