Zone 2: Light Activity (60-70% of Max Heart Rate) - Great for fat burning and improving overall health.
Zone 3: Moderate Activity (70-80% of Max Heart Rate) - Enhances aerobic fitness and endurance.
Zone 4: Hard Activity (80-90% of Max Heart Rate) - Improves performance and builds speed.
Zone 5: Maximum Effort (90-100% of Max Heart Rate) - Used for short bursts of high-intensity training.
