First day with Polar HRM

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.
