Fitness fans among you have perhaps already an activity tracker or have already ever considered yourself a thought to set. Then you’re in good company. Since I was not sure if I wanted one or not, I have requested a tester at Polar. Test I was thus the Polar Loop 2 Tracker and the balance scales. Today I want to share with you my impressions.
manufacturer’s description
Polar Loop 2
All that lead a hectic life to keep working, sports, cultural and social life in balance, can benefit from the support and guidance of the Polar Loop. 2 By filling in the personal information such as age, sex, weight and activity level, the user is calculated daily activity goal that can be achieved by genaustes activity tracking. The smart Polar Loop 2 registered scrupulously the movements and sets this in five different intensity levels: Resting, sitting and in low, medium and high activity. It also measures the steps, distance and sleep thanks to high-precision and individualized algorithms, based on years of research by Polar.
The daily activity and the training details can be synchronized, to get the current activity status and the most important information easily via Bluetooth® Smart with the Polar Flow app (iOS and Android). A deeper insight granted the Polar Flow Web, the detailed analysis and long-term monitoring of progress allows.
The additional use of the Polar Coach Services may again offer an additional value: If the user trained together with a coach or a personal trainer, he or she can benefit from the advantages of also free online services and to network easily with him and share the training details. And connectivity with third-party as MyFitnessPal, Apple and Google Health Fit leave the Polar user once more benefit. (Text: Polar)
Polar Balance
With Polar Balance, users can achieve their goal weight and also ensure that the superfluous kilos stay away permanently. Given a target weight in Polar Flow is entered first. Then you climb to the polar balance scale and sends the current weight on either a wrist unit with ActivityTrackingLocation or directly to the Polar Flow app, available for iOS and Android. Polar balance tracks the activity as well as the user’s weight and provides motivating feedback and practical advice, such as an individual incentive to the daily activity to increase by a certain amount or to correspondingly reduce caloric intake. The system not only ensures, is that sufficient and trained in the right way, but also supports a healthy diet. The online components calculate personalized daily activity aims to support the achievement of the target weight and help to keep this also. (Text: Polar)
the test
Polar Loop 2
In my package of loan unit was the Polar Loop 2, a pulse measuring tape (hope you call the thing so) and a cable.
At the beginning it is necessary to create a Polar account online and make some adjustments. Before it can go wrong with the training.
After that install and lossporteln the appropriate app. It measures all the activities during wear. The service is not very intuitive and me personally too expensive. Also, I do not want to wear all the time this band. But who likes it. Certainly useful is the pulse monitor, but this is done, a heart rate monitor.
Polar Balance
The Polar balance only measures the weight and displays what actually anyway it is apparent to one must also buy the whole package to use them completely can. Even if it works with Bluetooth etc. also a gadget, which I will not define me. Because I might as well be on my usual level.
conclusion
‘m not a fan of Activity Tracker and balance, it is too time-consuming, complicated and too expensive. Short I do not need it simply because I am not a professional athlete and have no hesitation to continuous monitoring.
At least to me, this test has the made aware of buy it, and saved me a lot money.
Do you use activity trackers?
