›I’ve been active most of my life, attending aerobic classes, using cardio machines & walking -Kathy Brewer

My challenge has always been my 5’ frame & no place for any weight gain to hide. I’ve experienced the weight roller coaster ride, seeing highs & lows & trying most diets out there. I tired of yoyo weight loss & wanted a life change to maintain my ideal weight. I joined gym near work last year, worked hard & felt good, but the scales weren’t moving. I resigned myself to the fact that with age I’d just have to work harder, longer & sacrifice indulgences food wise. I was approached in March about having a consultation with a personal trainer. That’s when things changed for me. When asked my personal goals, I summed them up to losing weight, raising metabolism, toning up & training to run with my daughter at her graduation from boot camp in July. My trainer used his Polar Heart Monitor as part of training to monitor my heart beat and I was impressed from the beginning so I ordered one for myself (FT40). Three months into this journey, I’ve learned so much. My old schedule had me working out too often & not allowing my body to properly recover & I wasn’t eating enough @ breakfast to fuel my body, leaving myself drained by Friday. I started keeping a food dairy, still indulged in moderation on weekends, but concentrated on average calories/wk overall. My trainer pushed me harder than I had ever given myself credit for with free weights, squats, lunges, push ups, bridges & cardio. I’ll never look at stairs the same way! When I first started training, I jokingly asked him “Do you remember how old I am?” Now it’s how young I feel. I’ve lost 9 ¼ lbs, down one size, RUNNING & doing things I never thought I could. I appreciate so much the direction and knowledge that my trainer has shared with me and I most certainly will continue working towards my goals. He gave me that extra push and the tools that I needed. My PolarFT40 continues to guide me in my workouts. I now guage my workouts by my hear rate and know how far to push myself. Checking my summary at the end of each workout is like a pat on the back. Respectfully KathyB

›At the start of my weight loss mission i never thought i could get up in the mornings and run over 4km -Sheree Hay

At the start of my weight loss mission i never thought i could get up in the mornings and run over 4km. I purchased the Polar FT40 and was so motivated to use it daily that my exercise routine has increased, almost doubled. I have lost over 30kg and am now considering entering a local fun run, something i would have never thought possible 6 months ago. The Polar Personal trainer gives me tips and distances to achieve in time for the fun run, the rest is up to me! Thanks Polar.

›I decided once I turned 30 that enough was enough I had to get serious about my weight and eating -Jaclyn Kinnane

So I embarked on a mission to a healthier lifestyle and eating plan. To make this easier and to help see the results my FT40 has been a godsend! I am always pushing the barrier to do better than before. So far I lost approx 3 kg in 4 weeks and cm's of all parts of my body. It is great to have that extra support and be able to see the results on polarpersonaltrainer.com to increase motivation as well.. I am well on my way! Thanks Polar

›My FT40 is compatible with all the equipment -Phillip Quinn

I am 61 and start using my FT 40 for about 2 months previously I used a Timex "Iron Man" watch which I found to be inaccurate. I'm very satisfied with the ease of use of the FT 40 and with the computer link to track my progress. I have been training seriously now for 4 years and over that time period I lost over 40 ponds. I train most in a Nautilus gym, spinning three times a week and doing Pilates also three times a week my FT40 is compatible with all the equipment there which is great.
