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.
