Polar RS800 Heart Rate Monitor

Polar RS800

Those who are in the know about the world of physical fitness are aware of the fact that a heart rate monitor can be the thing that ties an entire workout program together. It is virtually impossible to check your own heart rate while working out, and if you are not maintaining your target heart rate, you are not burning calories and fat with the efficiency that you could be, and could even be causing damage to your body. The Polar RS800 Heart Rate Monitor is one of the most complete workout management solutions on the market; it is a full featured personal fitness computer that can record and track all aspects of a workout program to ensure your health, motivation, and success.

In addition to supplying accurate, real time heart rate data during a workout, the RS800 is able to show you where your target heart rate should be through a variety of internal tracking mechanisms, and customize a complete workout roadmap based on your current level of physical fitness using the included Polar Pro Trainer 5 software package. This workout program does more than showing target heart rates, however; it tells you when you should work out, along with supplying the proper duration, and the correct recovery time, for the maximum benefits possible.

Additionally, the RS800 is equipped with several popular features from Polar's other well-regarded heart rate monitor product lines. These features include an altitude tracker with the ability to track your total ascent or descent using the included computer software. However, it is missing one feature that would have made it even better: the ability to gauge temperature and barometric pressure. In a package that has nearly everything else that an athlete could possibly want, the ability to predict weather changes, which is found in other Polar heart rate monitors, is sorely missed.

Overall, however, the Polar RS800 is a top-flight personal training assistant. It is able to plan the ideal workout for your fitness level, along with tracking every aspect of your progress as an athlete. Measurable progress is the key to staying with a new exercise program, and in that sense, the RS800 is a top buy and is highly recommended.
