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, and fatigue. It 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.

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.

If you have selected body workout the wrist unit displays default limits that are 55-90% of your maximum heart rate.

Press the / buttons to set the upper limit. Press OK.

Press the / buttons to set the lower limit. Press OK.

OFF: The function is switched off and there are no target heart rate limits during the exercise session.
