HEART RATE EXERCISE ZONE CALORIES PER HOUR

If you are working with a trainer or fitness coach, listen to
them. Follow their advice without looking for shortcuts. This
test provides them with valuable insight into your fitness re-
quirements.

Exercise plays an important role in reducing body fat. Research
continues to show that long-duration, low-intensity exercise is
best for burning fat. A minimum of 30 minutes 3 times per week
is need to see results.
Even though higher intensity workouts burn more calories per
minute, they can be counter productive for weight loss.

Your Anaerobic Threshold (AT) represents the maximum intensi-
ty level that you can maintain for an extended period of time. Ex-
ercising at your Anaerobic Threshold Heart Rate will increase
your performance in endurance activities.

Short 10 minute intervals of exercising in your High and Peak In-
tensity zones will aid in improving your cardiovascular fitness.

As you increased the intensity (workload) during your exercise
test, your body responded differently at the various levels of ex-
ercise. Your body started out using aerobic energy sources
and gradually converted over to anaerobic energy sources.
These are different physiological "Zones" of your metabolism
and are mostly driven by your heart and lung's ability to provide
sufficient oxygen to your body.
The CardioCoach finds these physiological zones and uses
your heart rate as a landmark as to where these critical meta-
bolic changes occur. The CardioCoach simplifies the results as
your Target Heart Rate Workout Zones.
