The Suunto 5 GPS watch and its training plans

Suunto 5, the new Finnish brand GPS sports watch that combines a lightweight, elegant and compact design, and offers multiple sports functions and tracks the progress of long-lasting battery workouts.

Training Plans

One of the most innovative aspects of the new Suunto 5 is in its training plans, we tell you how they work.

The first option you can do is choose a automatic and adaptive training plan, that is, you choose the objective of your plan (maintain, improve or enhance your physical condition) and a series of exercises with a specific duration and intensity will be automatically planned.

If you do not do any training or do any of the proposed with greater duration or intensity, Suunto 5 automatically adapts Your training plan

The second option would be a non-adaptive plan that you can register by deactivating the “adaptive training indications” option and defining the number of hours of weekly training you want to do.

You should keep in mind that the recommendations of the exercises are based on the level of registered form and the training history, but it does not take into account if you have undergone any process of injury or illness.

Once you have the plan completed, the day you have planned training will appear as the first option when you go to exercise.

This option only gives you a duration and intensity, so you can choose the sport or activity that allows you to achieve that goal.

During the planned training you will receive visual and audible indications to help you maintain adequate intensity and so you can see your progress.

Program your plan, strive day by day and let Suunto 5 help you improve to achieve your planned goals !!!
