4.5 Measuring your training intensity

Training with heart rate monitors is traditionally based on heart rate zones. The intensity
of your training is determined by the time you spend in each of three zones. All Suunto
heart rate monitors support zone training.

Zone 1 (60-70%): fitness zone; improves basic fitness and is good for weight
control.

Zone 2 (70-80%): aerobic zone; improves aerobic fitness and is good for
endurance training.

Zone 3 (80-90%): threshold zone; improves aerobic and anaerobic capacity and
is good for improving peak performance.
