Polar has partnered with MyFitnessPal, which claims more than 75 million users, so that consumers can link their Polar Flow and MyfitnessPal accounts to view their nutrition together with activity and training details at once. Polar, which is based in Finland, said the connectivity will become available by the end of January.
Polar Flow web service and app provide a comprehensive wellness and fitness experience with the chance to plan workouts in an online diary and follow long term progress. The users of Polar Flow app for iOS can soon connect with MyFitnessPal and have their training and daily activity details automatically sent to MyFitnessPal Exercise Diary.
With nutrition and fitness data in one place, users can easily see how their daily activity influences both their calorie budget and overarching health goals. MyFitnessPal's software allows easy tracking of daily nutrition and calorie intake. You simply input all foods you consume during the day, and MyFitnessPal calculates the calories and nutrition data. Following eating habits with MyFitnessPal is a great way to manage weight, and the MyFitnessPal community of more than 75 million users has collectively lost over 180 million pounds.
Tracking nutrition, daily activity and training will let the user know if they need to eat or exercise to reach their daily calorie budget. Anyone with a Polar Flow compatible device on their wrist can take advantage of this smart integration. These include the Polar Loop activity tracker and Polar A300, M400 and V800 training computers all of which come with the most accurate calorie counter that ensures your every move from training and daily activity is counted for.
