Polar Heart Monitors for Fitness and Cross-Training: Versatility for Activities and Measurement

Polar heart monitors, specifically built for cross-training and general fitness enthusiasts, are some of the most popular of all heart rate monitor watches that Polar makes. Watches like the Polar FT80 and the Polar FT7 give the heart rate monitor line of Polar fitness watches a lot of diversity and choice when it comes to monitoring your workout and activities.

The Polar FT80 is the top-end monitor with incredible visual displays that makes it an ideal companion for gym workouts and weight lifting. The Polar FT80 is also compatible with GPS sensors and foot pods so it can be used as a multi-sport training tool. This heart rate monitor offers nice graphical displays of zones and even helps you get back to the ideal recovery level before you begin your next set or interval. Used properly these more advanced Polar heart rate monitors can literally supplant a personal coach or trainer.

The Polar FT60 is a Polar heart rate monitor that comes in four models, two for men and two for women, and can also use GPS and foot pod accessories. It also comes with the Polar Star training program which adjusts your workouts to help you meet your goals and its a feature that is exclusive to Polar.

The Polar FT40 models come in black for men and women and then a unisex gray color. These watches feature a fitness test and have all the Polar heart rate functions and zone features.

The Polar FT7 has consistently been a top seller since its introduction prior to December 2009. It comes in two versions, one for men and women, and it has loads of sophisticated heart rate features and zones, plus the super comfortable Polar Wearlink chest strap. The Polar FT7 is relatively affordable at $109 and has lots of great Polar features. With an optional Flowlink device you can even download your exercise data to your computer.

For an entry-level heart rate monitor with lots of features there is also the Polar FT4 and soon, in May, Polar is releasing the FT1 and FT2.
