A few years back, a heart rate monitor was not considered necessary for all exercisers. Only two classes of people were mostly found to use this gadget, one who needs to stay in a specific heart rate zone due to medical condition and competitive athletes who use the recorded data for effective training. But gradually, this gadget started becoming popular among all types of exercisers, especially ladies undergoing calorie burning programs. Some people use it to help them stay interested and focused in their exercise and monitor their progress and success rate periodically. A wide range of heart rate monitors are available in the market, the latest among them being Polar FT40.

This unisex watch has a digital display and is water resistant up to the depth of 30 metres. With the wide range of features included, FT40 helps you understand your body better and achieve your targets easily. It helps in determining the correct intensity at which you should undergo your training session for getting effective results. The Polar Fitness Test with OwnIndex measures your level of fitness in just five minutes by displaying your maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max). The Polar OwnCode feature of the Polar FT40 prevents cross-talk from other heart rate monitors. You can also lock a training zone to train on a specific intensity by using the Zone Lock functionality. The heart rate monitor comes with Polar WearLink+31 coded transmitter and an elastic chest strap. Last but not the least there are some memory features included in this latest heart rate monitor that provides you with daily, weekly and total summaries of your training data.
