1. BENEFITS OF YOUR POLAR FT1/ POLAR FT2 TRAINING COMPUTER

Heart Rate -Based Training

Your heart rate is a convenient, reliable, and personal indicator of the intensity of your training. Knowing

your heart rate helps you decide whether to increase or decrease the intensity of your training, based on

your goals and fitness level. Although there are many subjective clues indicating how your body is reacting

to exercise (perceived exertion, breathing rate, physical sensations), none is as reliable as measuring heart

rate. It is objective and affected by both internal and external factors, and is therefore a dependable

measure of physical condition.

Using your FT1/FT2 training computer during training:

• Teaches you about your body's reaction to training

• Keeps you from starting out too hard (as beginners are often tempted to do)

• Helps you control the intensity of your training routine

• Provides feedback on how you are improving
