Having enjoyed the festive season, now is the time to kick-start your New Year fitness resolution with a Polar heart rate monitor.
Traditionally, gym attendance rates rocket in January, heightened by New Year fitness enthusiasts looking to shed those extra festive pounds. But this often proves short-lived without structure or support to sustain the initial motivation.
The brand new Polar RC3 GPS and their dedicated fitness range provide the guidance needed to achieve the long lasting improvements that you want. Understanding how hard your heart is working and monitoring the calories burned during each and every exercise session allows you to really see the results of your efforts and help you get back into shape for the New Year.
Whatever your target – whether you want to get fit or lose weight – Polar listens to your body to help you along the way.

Celebrity personal trainer Matt Roberts trains with a Polar heart rate monitor:
“I use a Polar heart rate monitor to keep track of how hard I’m working during every training session. I would recommend anyone, no matter how much or little they exercise, to wear a heart rate monitor when working out. It can give motivation by providing targeted workout zones according to your personal fitness level, to ensure you’re always training at the right level for you and your body. And by showing you how hard you’re working throughout exercise sessions, heart rate monitoring can help you to achieve your fitness or weight loss goals quicker and often with less effort than you think.”
