HARD
The Hard intensity zone (80-90% HR
max
) 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% HR
max
) is effective particularly for improving
aerobic fitness. It is recommended for people exercising regularly.
LIGHT
Exercising in the Light intensity zone (60-70% HR
max
) 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% HR
max
). This intensity zone is suitable for aerobic intensity
exercise.
