OWNZONE
Polar Heart Rate Monitor is able to determine the
individual training heart rate zone for you. This
exercise zone is called your OwnZone (OZ).
For most adults, OwnZone corresponds to 65-85 % of
the maximum heart rate. OwnZone is suitable for
cardiovascular training either for health-related or
fitness improvement purposes.
OwnZone works well for those whose goal is weight
control via physical activity and exercise, because
the OwnZone corresponds to intensity from light
to moderate to moderate. Exercise of this
intensity level can be conducted even for extended
periods safely and often yields the best results for
weight loss.
The OwnZone can be found during a warmup
period of an exercise session lasting 1-5 minutes.
HOW TO DETERMINE YOUR OWNZONE
OwnZone is easily determined by walking and jogging
as instructed below. However, you are able to find
your OwnZone with other exercise modes as well, e.g.
exercising with a stationary bike. The principle is that
you start exercising very slowly with light intensity and
gradually increase your heart rate.
1. Check that you have set your personal user
information correctly.
2. Because OwnZone determination needs every
heart beat to be picked up properly, make sure
that the transmitter belt is tight enough and the
electrodes well moistened.
3. Check that you have set the OwnZone function on.
4. Start the heart rate measurement as described
earlier.
