| Personal Fitness Polar Equipment Computer Requirements |
All CVA Personal Fitness students are required to use the provided Polar Watch and Heart Monitoring equipment. Students are provided access to a Polar-sponsored website called Healthy Schools in order to upload their workout data. Ideally, students will be able to use a computer at home to upload the information. However, CVA provides weekly, face-to-face help sessions where students have access to computers to upload their workout data.
The equipment used for uploading Polar watch workout data is
specific to your computer's operating system. Accordingly, you will need to know
what operating system you have on your computer so you can request the proper
devices at the pre-fitness session. See below for information on how to identify your computer's operating
system.
***Please note: Polar does not support any Macintosh operating
systems.***
