Polar F4 Fitness Watch: Reap the benefits of an active lifestyle

My brother and I stood at the bottom of one of the highest peaks surrounding the quiet village of Bamff, smack bang in the middle of the Canadian Rockies. There was a chair lift going to the summit, but that would be too easy! We were told the average time was 2.5 to 3hrs to make the arduous hike up the 7.5km, zigzagging path on the mountain face. Scoffing at that time, we were both determined to overcome the challenge and set a new record. To keep track of the strain our bodies were about to endure, we started monitoring our cardiac vitals with our Polar Fitness Watches, as well as initiating the stopwatch function as we began our accent.

We started off at a cracking pace, adrenaline flowing abundantly. We were so pumped that we even contemplated breaking into a jog. However that idea was quickly alleviated from our heads as the accent increased in intensity! We hit the steep section and as we were winding our way up the seemingly increasingly steeper mountain will struggled not to fall into a state of despair watching the cable cart pass us by... pair of eyes looking in disbelief at those crazy guys! We didn't break out into a run at all, yet our heart rates were hitting 180 plus BPM!! That was as high as my more strenuous runs! Determined, we pushed on!!

Three quarters of the way up, sweat dripping, we stopped for a few minutes to take note of the incredible view, and to gaze at the journey we had thus far traveled. Everything looked so small. Our heart rates dropped back down to 150BPM, but were soon peaking again as we pushed onto the final stage. We were so hot we even ripped our tops off... this is in the Canadian Rockies I remind you... fancy having the need to take your top off because you are too hot!! But we were really pushing ourselves to the limit!! With a final gasp of air, we arrived to the summit, completely exhausted and still noticing our hearts working overtime. We clicked our stopwatches and congratulated each other on making the climb in just under an hour! What a buzz!!! I tell you having a Polar fitness watch helps you soak up the incredible accolades of the fitness challenges that await you!

Features of the Polar F4 Men's Fitness Watch:

* Polar OwnCal. Counts and displays calorie expenditure. The Polar OwnCal feature shows your energy expenditure during one exercise session as well as your accumulated kilocalories during several exercise sessions. You can set daily and weekly exercise goals in terms of calorie expenditure with the OwnCal feature. Because the OwnCal tracks both the energy expenditure during one exercise session and the accumulated kilocalories during a longer time e.g. one week, it helps in achieving both short term and long term goals.
* Wireless heart rate monitor
* Target Zones with visual and audible alarms
* Zone Pointer
* Backlight
