Learn the benefits of working within each zone and how you can use heart rate zones in your workouts to maximize your heart rate, intensify your training and make your workout regimen effective.

By watching this program, you can expect to learn:

  • what heart rate zones are;
  • how to measure and adjust heart rate zones within your workout;
  • and Intervals versus Steady State.
