Manual training recording
Applies to: Polar Loop
You can record your training sessions manually either with your phone using the Flow app or with your device.
When you use the Flow app to record your training, both heart rate and location-related data are recorded, and you can monitor them in real time during your session. You can also receive voice guidance and use quick targets.
When recording with the device, you need to start and stop the session manually using the Flow app, but you don't need to carry your phone during the workout. Once started, the recording is handled by the device. When using the device alone, only heart rate data is recorded.
To manually record training sessions with the Flow app or with your device, you need to pair your device as a heart rate sensor on the Training settings page of the Flow app. For instructions, see the How to Get Started section.
Wear your Polar Loop snugly on your wrist.
For accurate measurement and tracking, it is important that the device is positioned correctly on your wrist. See How do I wear my Polar Loop? for instructions. Also, make sure that you are wearing the device on the wrist you selected in the Flow app device settings.
In the Flow app, go to Start > Training.
If automatic training detection is turned on and the device has already started recording due to elevated heart rate and activity levels, you must stop the ongoing recording before starting a manual training session. The ongoing recording is shown in the Start view. To stop it, press and hold the Hold to stop button. If you want to delete the automatically recorded session, press and hold the session in the Calendar view and select Delete.
Before you can manually record training sessions with the Flow app or your device, the device must be paired as a heart rate sensor on the Training settings page in the Flow app. Tap the
icon to open the Training settings page. Find your device on the page and tap Pair.
From the Training settings page, you can choose whether you want to record your session with your phone or your device:

Once you have paired your device as a heart rate sensor with the Flow app and selected a recording method, you’re ready to choose a sport profile and start training.

You can change the map view by tapping the 
icon on the top of the map. You can also scroll and zoom the map as you want by swiping and pinching it. Bring back focus to your location by tapping the
