Polar F11 – The Ultimate Heart Rate Monitor

Irrespective of why you want to loose weight, the fact remains; it’s an extremely difficult goal to achieve. Not does one need an in-depth understanding of the subject but you also need to have an almost unrealistic amount of determination. Whether you have the necessary willpower or not, the last thing you need is to deal with loads of unnecessary guesswork, given that losing weight is difficult enough as it is. Fortunately, Polar has recently developed the all-new F11 heart rate monitor, thus making guess work a thing of the past.

If you want to burn fat then there are two options. You can either jog for every 10 minutes and then check your pulse rate to see if you are meeting your optimum heart rate. However, that will slow down your heart rate every time you stop. Hence, the next best method is to monitor your heart rate using Polar F11 heart rate monitor.

Of course, the market nowadays is flooded with an abundance of heart rate monitors but you can be rest assured, the Polar F11 certainly stands out in a crowd, thanks to the many features which are incorporated. In fact, here are just a few of the features:

1) Size and Resolution: Not only does the Polar F11 heart rate monitor boost a large screen for easy viewing, but the resolution also leaves nothing to be desired.

2) Accuracy: Not only has the Polar F11 proven to be remarkably dependable, but it’s proven itself with regards to being extremely accurate. Of course, for those with stringent weight loss goal, having a heart rate monitor which is both accurate and dependable is crucial.

3) Durability: Of course, because people use heart rate monitors for such a wide range of sports and activities such as rock climbing, jogging and etc. these monitors need to be durable. As such, the Polar F11 is not only a practical solution for sportsmen, but it’s also a durable one.

4) Comfort: Let’s face it; when you’re out jogging or doing one of your other favorite sports, you certainly don’t want to be wearing a heart rate monitor on your wrist that does nothing more than annoy you. It essentially needs to be comfortable enough so as not to be a burden.

5) Polar Keep U Fit: This is a person guidance system which is unique to the polar F11 heart rate monitor, which helps you to monitor progress with regards to your fitness level.

6) Calories: In addition to measuring your heart rate, the Polar F11 has a built-in function for calculating the amount of calories being used, either on a per session basis, or over a period of multiple sessions.

7) Water resistance: Polar F11 has a water resistance feature which up to 100 feet.
8) When you are in a crowded gym, the soft fabric transmitter called the Wear Link Coded feature will prevent any kind of interference from other heart rate monitors to give you a completely accurate reading.

9) Polar F11 has a two years warranty from the manufacturer as well.
