WOW!! (Polar F-11)

MFS27

Ya-hooo! I got my Blue Glow Polar F-11 yesterday :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

I'm a total gadget girl - so this is right up my alley. It took me a long time to decide which HRM to go with. I was looking into everything from Garmin to Timex, and settled on this model for various reasons.

Anyways, this model has a fitness test (you lay down and relax for 5 minutes, and it tests your resting HR), I did that this morning and it said I was "elite" (*spitting out coffee*) - whoa baby. Ok, I don't feel elite (or look elite), but ok - I can live with that I love how you can take the fit test again over time, then graph your improvement.

I've programmed my exercise program, and used it this morning when I swam (gave me total 530 calories burned compared to 440 from MFP database). It was kind of addicting - I kept trying to snatch glances of my HR while swimming (not very graceful :laugh: ).

It's true what they say - once you go Polar, you never go back! :laugh: :laugh:

I have F11 for the past month- and it's love from the first site! It is exactly what I was missing all those years: A personal trainer that watches me without any distractions whenever I want it to. It quetly tells me when I am being lazy to pick it up! It is not in my face and is not annoyng. It even compliments me with higher %fat loss per my exersise when I am being good.
Wow, that sounds like a love letter to my F11:blushing:

Thanks for the info. I like my gadgets too (think I got it from my dad the engineer) and you must say gadgets with a french accent, it sounds nicer.

Anyway, I have been thinking of getting the f-11 and now I must go. One more source to look at then purchase time, but I am glad to see users are loving their polars.
