› Share Your Workouts on Facebook

Polar has integrated social media sharing into polarpersonaltrainer.com, our web service where you can keep track of your training and analyze your results in detail. You can now share your training experience with your Facebook friends by simply clicking the new share button on the training session overview. What's more motivating than your friends seeing how your workout went and sharing tips and inspiration.

Adding this new social aspect to your training can be beneficial. You can keep your friends up- to- date on your activities and get their advice on how to further improve your training. Some of your friends might get encouraged and join you the next time you go for a ride or attend a group exercise class. In addition, the share button gives athletes an easy way to share their training data with their coaches.

Besides your basic training data, you can share, with some Polar training computers, your heart rate curve, time in different heart rate zones and lap times. With the new Polar RCX5 you can even share the map view and let your friends see your training data at any point on your route.

In addition to Facebook, you can share your training data on Twitter or any of your favorite social media services. Log in to your online training diary to try the share button. If you're not yet a member, sign up at polarpersonaltrainer.com – it's fast and free.
