About Polar
The first EKG accurate wireless heart rate monitor was invented by Polar
back in 1977 as a training tool for the Finnish National Cross Country
Ski Team. The concept of "intensity training" by heart rate swept the
athletic world in the eighties. By the 1990s, individuals were looking
to heart rate monitors not only for performance training needs, but also
for achieving everyday fitness goals. Today, the same concept of heart
rate training is being used by world-class athletes as well as everyday
people trying to lose weight. Polar is the leading brand among
consumers, coaches, and personal trainers worldwide and the company is
committed to not only producing the best products, but also being the
leading educator on the benefits of heart rate based exercise.
Product Description
The M61 features the WearLink Coded transmitter made from a soft, fabric
material. The electrodes, which pick up the heart signals, are
integrated right into the strap for added flexibility and comfort. The
Coded feature eliminates interference from other heart rate monitors.
OwnIndex will determine your fitness level, track your improvements, and
provide motivation. The OwnCal feature counts the calories and fat that
you burn and the new OwnZone feature will automatically determine each
days target zone. The M61 is a must for the individual seeking guidance
and motivating feedback.
