USING POLARPERSONALTRAINER.COM
When you transfer training results from your training computer to
your Diary, you can easily follow up your training as well as plan
your future training sessions. You need the Polar FlowLink data
transfer unit (sold separately) to transfer your training information.
In polarpersonaltrainer.com you can easily analyze your training
data and see perfect balance between training and resting from the
Training Load curve.
OWNZONE
Polar OwnZone® determines your personal heart rate limits for a
training session. Depending on the day and time, your physical state
may vary, for instance, if you are stressed or tired, or if you are not
fully recovered from your latest training session. Polar can determine
that information from your heart rate and guide you to your ideal
training zone for that moment.
INTERVAL TRAINER GUIDED WORKOUTS
Create interval workouts based on time, heart rate, speed/pace or
distance and get guidance during your training. You need a G1 GPS
Sensor or a S1 foot pod for measuring speed, pace or distance. If you
bought your RS300X without the required accessory, not to worry,
you can always buy one later.
FITNESS TEST
With Polar FitnessTest you can determine your tness level in just 5
minutes. The test calculates your maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max)
based on your personal information as well as your resting heart rate.
By regularly comparing your test results you can see how your tness
improves over time. Repeat the test every 6 weeks and see how you
progress.
