Limits

 

Exercise

 

 

 

HARD

 

The Hard intensity zone (80-90% HRmax) is for relatively short exercise at high intensity. Exercising in this zone

 

 

causes heavy breathing, muscle tiredness, fatigue and increases maximum performance capacity.

 

 

 

MODERATE

 

Exercising in the Moderate intensity zone (70-80% HRmax) is effective particularly for improving aerobic fitness.

 

 

It is recommended for people exercising regularly.

 

 

 

LIGHT

 

Exercising in the Light intensity zone (60-70% HRmax) is good for improving health and fitness. It also improves

 

 

basic endurance and helps you to recover from heavier exercise.

 

 

 

BASIC

 

Limits for basic exercise (65-85% HRmax). This intensity zone is suitable for aerobic intensity exercise.

 

 

 

MANUAL:

Instead of determining your target heart rate zone by using OwnZone or Automatic limits, you can determine

 

your target heart rate limits manually by using the age formula.

 

Your target heart rate zone is a range between lower and upper heart rate limits expressed as percentages of

 

your maximum heart rate (HRmax) or as beats per minute (bpm). HRmax is the highest number of heartbeats per

 

minute during maximum physical exertion. The wrist unit calculates your HRmax according to your age:

 

Maximum heart rate = 220–age. For more accurate measurement of your HRmax, visit your doctor or exercise

 

physiologist for an exercise stress test.

 

The wrist unit displays your previously determined heart rate limits. Alternatively, if you have not determined

 

the manual limits before your age-based limits are displayed.

 

Press the

/

buttons to set the upper limit. Press OK.

 

Press the

/

buttons to set the lower limit. Press OK.
