Polar RS100 user manual Determining Your OwnZone Heart Rate Limits

Determining Your OwnZone Heart Rate Limits

Before you start to determine your OwnZone, make sure that:

•You entered your user settings correctly. The wrist unit will ask for missing information (for example date of birth) before accepting limit settings.

•You activate the OwnZone limits. With the function on, the wrist unit will automatically determine your OwnZone everytime you start recording an exercise session.

You should redefine your OwnZone:

•When changing your exercise environment or exercise mode.

•If you feel unusual about the physical state of your body when starting to exercise. For example you are stressed or not feeling well.

The main idea is that you start your exercise with a warm-up period at a light intensity i.e. heart rate lower than 100 bpm/ 50% HRmax. You then gradually increase the intensity of your exercise to raise your heart rate.
