Exercising in this zone causes heavy breathing, muscle tiredness, fatigue and increases maximum performance capacity. Exercising in the Moderate intensity zone (70-80% HRmax) is effective particularly for improving aerobic fitness. 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. This intensity zone is suitable for aerobic intensity exercise. 41 1. Press the / buttons to set the HR ALARM, HR LIMITS, or HR VIEW for the heart rate set.
