Can my husband use my Polar FT4 HRM?

My husband has just decided to start working out with me and I'm curious to know how much calories he will burn doing 30 shred with me. Can I adjust my Polar FT4 ( I believe it's a women's model) to his height and weight and let him use it one time to get a more accurate estimation of how many calories he will burn? We can't get him his own at this time :(

    If it'll allow you to modify the settings, then it should work for him. ICool that your hubby is working out with you!

    I've thought about that too. I think it would work. Let us know.

    I have a Polar FT4 myself and I was thinking of getting one for my friend to start using! She will only get it if her soon to be husband can use also... has anyone gone through changing the settings and if so how much of a pain is it?

    I have an FT40 and my bf used mine a couple of times before getting his own. It's pretty easy, takes about a minute to change your user settings.
