Motivation to move

Polar sports watch or fitness tracker gives you an activity goal each day, guides you in reaching your goal and rewards you by giving feedback and showing the benefits of your activity.

Exercise is only one form of physical activity. Even if you are active and fulfilling or exceeding global physical activity recommendations, you can be sitting too much or in too long periods. Activity Benefit gives you the insights to change your habits for better health and helps you add active breaks to your daily routines by reminding you to get up if you've been still for too long.

With practical guidance like ‘walk for 50 minutes or jog for 20 minutes’ you can choose how to reach your daily activity goal. Meet your goal faster with more intense activities or stay active at a slightly more moderate pace throughout the day.
