Determine Your OwnZone
For background information on Polar OwnZone®, see OwnZone Training.
Find your OwnZone in 1-5 minutes during a warm-up period by walking and jogging. You should start
exercising gently at a light intensity and gradually increase intensity to raise your heart rate.
Redefine your OwnZone:
When changing exercise environment or exercise mode.
When taking up exercise after more than a week’s break.
If you are not 100 percent sure of your physical or mental state – for example, if you are not
recovered from previous training, not feeling well, or are stressed.
After changing user settings.
Before you start to determine your OwnZone, make sure that:
Your user settings are correct.
You select the OwnZone exercise. Every time you start the OwnZone exercise, the running computer
will automatically determine your OwnZone.
