Product Description

The Polar F55 Heart Rate Monitor is unlike other monitors in that not only does it provide guidance and instruction for cardiovascular training but it also has an awareness of the importance of strength training and relaxation as key components to overall fitness. It has awareness by providing programs that give guidance on basic strength training and functions that monitor your relaxation and give you a 5 minute relaxation session. The functions for these are called the BodyWorkout and OwnRelax.

The Polar Keeps U Fit function gives you personal guidance on how hard, how long and how often you need to exercise to reach your personal fitness goals. This is great for anyone who doesn’t want to get bogged down with details and working out a program to get fitter.

Besides these functions the Polar F55 also has the OwnCal, OwnZone and Fitness Bullet features sported on other Polar models.

The OwnCal monitors energy expenditure and calories burned in one exercise session as well as through several sessions so you can see how many you have burned over a week for example. You can set daily or weekly calorie burning goals and the Polar F55 will help you achieve them.

The OwnZone function gives you a nice warm up routine and then automatically determines an effective heart rate zone for you to keep in for an effective work out. The Fitness Bullets monitor how long you stay in that zone throughout the workout. One fitness bullet is the equivalent to ten minutes in the target zone.

Most customers who bought the Polar F55 heart rate monitor have loved it. Their own qualm has been with the quality of the website where you can get added functions and resources to add to the function buttons of the watch.
