If you are thinking getting into jogging or running, the Polar Fs2 is the perfect beginners heart rate monitor sports watch.  Newbies may not realize that the quickest and safest way to train to increase fitness level, distance and speed is by using a heart rate monitor.  And, the Polar Fs2 with its great price is the ideal entry level HRM.

Why is this true?  When training, whether it is cycling, jogging, or running, it is best to keep your heart rate in a certain zone that has been designed for your particular age, and fitness level.  According to research, your muscles, including your heart will improve safely and quicker when you adhere to your specific target HR zone.

The Polar Fs2, like it’s other Polar counterparts, is made by Polar, the world’s leader in the design and manufacture of heart rate monitors for more than thirty years.  The name Polar has come to be synonymous with heart rate monitor sport watches.

Unlike other more sophisticated Polar models, however, the Fs2 heart rate monitor has only one button to push.  It is very uncomplicated and yet it does the job for which it was intended; the Fs2 keeps you from going above or below your target heart rate.

The Polar Fs2 HRM while basic still features time-of-day and stopwatch functionality, visual and audible alarm for when you reach your target heart rate zone, water resistant to 50 meters, back light, and it even displays total exercise time as well as average and maximum heart rate.

Additionally, it comes with an ultra comfortable chest band/strap transmitter. And, to cap it all off, the Polar Fs2 heart rate monitor is stylish looking, unlike many big clunky models made by other brands and Polar sports watches of the past.

When you are just beginning your exercise or athletic training, sometimes you are unsure if you’ll continue.  The Polar Fs2 is an inexpensive and basic, yet reliable heart rate monitor; one that will serve you well until you decide if you can make a serious committment to your fitness improvement or athletic performance goals.
