Determine Your OwnZone

For background information on Polar OwnZone®, see OwnZone Training (page 54).

Find your OwnZone in 1-5 minutes during a warm-up period by walking and jogging. You should start exercising gently at a light intensity and gradually increase intensity to raise your heart rate.

Redefine your OwnZone:

•When changing exercise environment or exercise mode.

•When taking up exercise after more than a week’s break.

•If you are not 100 percent sure of your physical or mental state – for example, if you are not recovered from previous training, not feeling well, or are stressed.

•After changing user settings.

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

•Your user settings are correct.

•You select the OwnZone exercise. Every time you start the OwnZone exercise, the training computer will automatically determine your OwnZone.

1.Wear the heart rate sensor and stride sensor* as instructed. Start measurement by pressing OK twice.

2.When your exercise starts, OZ is displayed and OwnZone determination begins.

Determination of your OwnZone happens in five stages. After each stage, you will hear a beep (if the sound settings are on) indicating the end of the stage.

OZ > Walk at a slow pace for 1 min. Keep your heart rate below 100 bpm / 50% HRmax during this first stage.

OZ >> Walk at a normal pace for 1 min. Slowly increase your heart rate by 10-20 bpm / 5% HRmax.
