Training tips:
There are 3 training zones:
1. The Health Zone (50 to 70% of maximum heart rate)
This zone is for beginners and people who haven't been practising for
a long time. When exercising in the Health zone the intensity should
be low and relaxed.
2. The Fitness Zone (70 to 80% of maximum heart rate)
Workout in this zone improves your fitness, when you already have
been exercising for a while and feel fit.
If you have regular Zone Two intensity exercise, the heart is made
stronger as well as it helps to convert food into energy.
3. The High Performance Zone (80 to 100% of maximum heart rate)
Exercising in this zone is to get your maximum fitness. It is generally
only to be recommended for those who can exercise in the Fitness
zone for 30-45 minutes without problems. The intensity should be
increased step by step.
