Great workout companion! Reviews Polar FT80 Heart Rate Monitor Watch Black

As a woman of a certain age with sarcoidosis and asthma, my biggest issue with exercising is difficulty breathing. I hate being out of breath, and it makes me feel like my heart is going to jump out of my chest and I'll have a heart attack! Using this Polar FT80 Heart Rate Monitor Watch has allowed me to overcome my fear - I can push myself but not worry that I'm going too hard.

Never mind the rest of the Polar FT80 Heart Rate Monitor Watch great features (the calorie count seems pretty accurate with what I'm tracking in my weight loss journey!) and that it works in water (I swim almost daily). I haven't used any other HRMs but even when this wears out, i'll very likely stick with Polar.

Polar FT80 Heart Rate Monitor Watch Black has so many features I don't think I can use them all. It does everything it advertises. Combine with the Web site it tracks everything you could want it to and then some. The design is great and I get complimented on it all the time.

The watch works extremely well while using it for cardio. It works with the cardio equipment at my gym. It also breaks your rate into three different zones and makes it very easy to see which zone you are in. Synching the watch with the computer is very easy. It comes with a USB device that allows you to synch easily.

Polar FT80 Heart Rate Monitor Watch Black is sexy, sleek, powerful and an awesome tool. Like any tool, it has a purpose and requires the user to apply it correctly. I think I learned from this device right from the first use. I had long suspected my weight lifting intensity was too low, and I think this device exposed that immediately.

Keep in mind diet, rest, and proper attitude are the other ingredients that compliment workouts to be successful. I believe this product will help newbies, but will also help folks like myself who have used HRM for years and closely monitor many aspects of their fitness. I recommend the product.
