This product comes with the data receiver/recorder and with a CD with the software on it.It is the exact same product sold by Oregon Scientfic for $50.Easy to use, both while exercising and transferring the data via usb to PC.I like the software because it shows daily, weekly, or monthly views of your exercise sessions and show how many minutes were spent exercising in each target zone.
I was going to buy the Polar F11 because it has features for helping you keep track of how much time you have spent in each zone per week and tells you how many more times, for how long, and how hard you need to exercise the rest of the week to reach your goal of maintaining, improving, or maximizing.
But with a little knowledge, a cheap no frills Polar heart rate monitor, and this software, I can manage my fitness program in just the same way as the expensive Polar F11 manages your program.
After a ton of research, I kept my Polar Fs1 (cheapest model I've had for 2 years already) and bought this recorder and software.
If you know enough about how much you need to exercise and in what target zones, then this is PERFECT and inexpensive way to manage your fitness program.
I got the below info from a website and it's the same logic the Polar F11 uses to create a fitness program for you.(I know because my co-worker bought the F11)
Target zones
Light: 60-70% HRmax Aerobic endurance
Moderate: 70-80% HRmax Aerobic power
Hard: 80-90% HRmax Aerobic stamina, anaerobic power and maximum performance
To maintain current level of fitness:
exercise approximately one and a half hours per week with light to moderate intensity, divided into two to three exercise sessions. The average duration of one exercise session is 30-45min.
To improve cardio, respiratory, and stamina:
exercise approximately three hours a week divided into three to five exercise sessions and by varying light, moderate and hard intensity. The average duration of one exercise session is 40-60min.
To maximize (move up a level of athleticism)
exercise approximately five hours a week, divided into four to six exercise sessions varying light, moderate and hard intensity. The average duration of one exercise session is 45-70min.
