Suunto t4c Training Heart-Rate Monitor Watch

The Suunto t4c acts as your personal coach, adapting to your work out schedule, it knows what your body needs to achieve optimal physical condition.

The quick-reading Suunto t4c Heart-Rate Monitor training system from Suunto monitors your progress and makes intelligent workout recommendations for frequency, duration and intensity.

The Suunto t4c Heart-Rate Monitor tracks your heart rate, calories burned and speed & distance. It logs progress then makes recommendations for improving your training.

The Suunto t4c utilises Training Effect, a quick and accurate measurement of how hard your body's working at any given moment, so you can easily find that sweet spot for getting the most out of each workout.

Even more accurate and versatile measure of extertion than your heart rate, Training Effect keeps you on-target for achieving your goals, whether it's weight loss, cardiovascular health or shaving minutes off a marathon.

Using data from your personal fitness profile, the Suunto t4c will analyse your heartbeat and translates the data into a simple, one-to-five Training Effect scale. If, for example, you want to improve your aerobic fitness at a moderate tempo, you should work out until your TE meter reads 3.0 to 3.9 (2 to 4 times weekly). Data is displayed in real time on the t4c HR monitor using the easy to understand scale from 1 to 5.

How long should you run? How fast should you pedal? How quick should you move? The Suunto t4c will give you the answers and training guidance you need. With the enhanced Suunto Coach feature you can evaluate your athletic performance and get a personalised 5-day training plan. The training plan will help you efficiently achieve your goals, helping you maintain a balance between workout and rest and makes intelligent recommendations for exercise frequency, duration and intensity. Suunto Coach stops you wasting weeks tweaking your exercise regime

By monitoring your Training Effect, it suggests which days to work out on and which days to rest. You can follow the recommendations or vary the training intensity or duration to suit your mood and day-to-day priorities. The Suunto t4c Coach adapts your program according to your actual training.

If your activity level decreases, the Suunto Coach monitors and adapts, adjusting your plan for the next five days to ensure you get the right amount of exercise in each phase of training.

Training Manager Lite

Training Manager Lite is an integral part of the Suunto t4c experience. It stores and organises training sessions, allowing athletes to analyse their performance and create ideal training plans.

With one-button activation, training sessions can be quickly uploaded using a wireless Suunto PC POD. Using intuitive graphs and charts, users can view their performance over a single workout or a specific period of time. Training sessions can be broken down by type of activity (i.e. biking, running or kickboxing), giving users a deeper understanding of how different activities contribute to overall progress.

Equipped with a Suunto Foot, GPS, Bike and/or Cadence POD, the program allows Suunto t4c users to evaluate their overall performance. Suunto Training Manager Lite can also be used in home training for real time heart rate monitoring from the computer's screen.

Using ANT technology, the Suunto t4C avoids unwanted crosstalk from other HRM users and electrical equipment, letting you securely pair your Suunto Comfort Belt and your Suunto POD without fear of interference.

The Suunto t4c features the new Suunto Comfort Belt (hence the 'c' in t4c) which has softer more body-friendly fabrics and which can simply be thrown into the washing machine.
