First day with Polar HRM

moonbeams896

My husband got me a Polar HRM for our anniversary (he's the best!) and today was my first day with it. Very easy to setup and use. And, i was happy with the results I saw. I stayed in my target heart range for 45 minutes on the normal walk I take with my dog.

Now, what does that mean, exactly? I know I'm burning calories (it basically matched what RunKeeper said I had burned, as well), but how long do I need to stay in that range? What will it do?

Thanks

What app are you using with it? Digifit, for example, has www.my.digifit.com where you can log on and see more detail on your workout - e.g., you were in Zone 2 for 10 minutes, Zone 3 for 20 minutes, etc.

I didn't know I could use it with an app. I'll have to look into that. I just read what the watch told me.
