Polar Balance is a smart and personalized weight management service integrated within the Polar Flow web service. It's designed to help individuals achieve and maintain their weight goals through tailored daily activity targets and practical advice on nutritional intake.
This service acts as a dedicated coach, providing a structured and data-driven approach to harmonizing physical activity and diet for sustainable weight management.
How Does Polar Balance Work?
The core functionality of Polar Balance revolves around setting a specific weight target. Once this target is established, the service leverages your data to provide actionable insights and guidance:
- Personalized Activity Goals: You receive a customized daily activity goal, which can be tracked using compatible Polar devices. This goal is dynamic and adjusts based on your progress and initial target, ensuring you're consistently challenged appropriately.
- Calorie Consumption Guidance: The service offers specific advice on how many fewer calories you need to consume per day. This helps create the necessary energy deficit for weight loss or supports maintenance if that's your objective, making dietary adjustments clear and manageable.
- Balancing Activity and Nutrition: A key strength of Polar Balance is its holistic approach. It guides users to effectively balance their daily activity levels with their nutritional intake, promoting a comprehensive strategy for weight management rather than focusing on just one aspect.
