OWNZONE

Polar Heart Rate Monitor is able to determine the individual training heart rate zone for you. This exercise zone is called your OwnZone (OZ).

For most adults, OwnZone corresponds to 65-85 % of the maximum heart rate. OwnZone is suitable for cardiovascular training either for health-related or fitness improvement purposes.

OwnZone works well for those whose goal is weight control via physical activity and exercise, because the OwnZone corresponds to intensity from “light to moderate” to “moderate”. Exercise of this intensity level can be conducted even for extended periods safely and often yields the best results for weight loss.

The OwnZone can be found during a warmup period of an exercise session lasting 1-10 minutes.

H O W T O D E T E R M I N E Y O U R O W N Z O N E

OwnZone is easily determined by walking and jogging as instructed below. However, you are able to find your OwnZone with other exercise modes as well, e.g. exercising with a stationary bike. The principle is that you start exercising very slowly with light intensity and gradually increase your heart rate.

1.Check that you have set your personal user information correctly.

2.Because OwnZone determination needs every heart beat to be picked up properly, make sure that the transmitter belt is tight enough and the electrodes well moistened.
