About two years ago, I finally started getting serious about my health with a pretty ambitious weight-loss goal: 50 pounds. Lucky for me, my Zumba Fitness instructor at the time was also a personal trainer, and she recommended getting a Polar Training Computer to help me get into the best possible fat- and calorie-burning zones, and to help me figure out what I was actually burning so I could balance my calorie intake every day. I bought the F6 - not as detailed a model as I wanted, but the only one I could afford that had the features she told me I'd need. Not only did my new Polar F6 do both of the things she'd talked about, but it really helped me to recognize how my weight, my food choices and proper hydration affected not just my energy level, but how effectively my body is able to supply energy during my workouts as a result. 2 years later and 50 pounds lighter, now that I am half the size I was when I started, I am still absolutely fascinated with my HR monitor, and use it every time I work out without fail. I don't think I would feel right training without it! Since seeing my results - especially at my recent wedding, where I fit into a single-digit-sized dress - several of my friends have started shopping around for their own Polar buddy! I don't think I will ever work out with a Polar Training Computer ever again - and I'm hoping to convert my husband!
