3.2 POLAR BODY WORKOUT
Polar Body Workout™ is your guide to strength (resistance) training. You can create and edit a body workout with the
wrist unit and follow your progress while exercising. Based on your user settings, the wrist unit provides you a default body
workout with movements, count of sets, repetitions, and weights recommendations. The default body workout includes ten
different movements.
The wrist unit default body workout is an excellent starting point if you do not have earlier experience in strength training. In
that case, start by performing the default workout approximately twice a week for three months. Start with lighter weights and
move to heavier ones after you feel you can push a little bit more and still keep the correct technique. If the recommended
number of repetitions is 8-12 try to find the weights with which you can perform 10 repetitions using a good technique.
You can modify the default workout by deleting and adding movements from a total of 17 different movements. The maximum
number of movements in one workout is 14. After performing the default body workout for about three months, change the
workout by adding and deleting movements.
For further information on how to perform the movements, see the Polar Body Card. After modifying your body workout you
can print a personalized Body Card from www.polarpersonaltrainer.com.
Note: Repetitions and weights are shown only in Exercise recording mode. Default movements and repetitions are the same for everyone; the
weights are calculated according to your body weight and gender.
