It guides you through weight lifting sessions, predicts your VO2 max, and won't be affected by fellow exerciser's monitors. Head to the gym for a strength training session, and the F55 Heart Rate Monitor tells you what to do, count of sets, repetitions, and weight recommendations. Have a Zen moment while the F55 measures your body's relaxation level with the OwnRelax function. The Polar's Keeps U Fit function keeps you on track as it tells you how often, how long, and how hard you need to work to meet your fitness goals.
