This chapter describes how to monitor your progress with your Polar heart rate monitor.

With the help of electronic Diary, you can compare your targets to the values you have achieved and see if you are reaching your exercise targets as planned. For further information, see the chapter Diary on this page.

The envelope on the display automatically reminds you to check the Diary weekly and perform the Fitness Test monthly. For further information, see the section Weekly And Monthly Follow-Up on page 41.

4.1 DIARY

This section describes how to compare your exercise duration, count, calories, and duration in different intensity zones, and your self-defined value targets to the values you have achieved. This way you have reliable information on your progress immediately and you know if you are reaching your goal as planned.

Diary includes follow-up information for the current calendar week.

Your exercise information is saved in the Diary if the exercise session has lasted at least ten minutes.
