- Healthy Heart Zone – 50-60% of maximum heart rate. This zone is for people who are just beginning to work out, and is close to a slow jog or fast walk. 85% of calories burned are fat calories.
- Fitness Zone – 60-70% of maximum heart rate. This is a little more intense than the Healthy Heart Zone, and about 85% of calories burned are fat calories again.
- Aerobic Zone – 70-80% of maximum heart rate. Improves your cardiovascular endurance and increases the strength and size of the heart. Most marathon runners and endurance competitors train in this zone. You will burn more calories in this zone, and 50% of those calories burned will be fat calories.
- Anerobic Zone – 80-90% of maximum heart rate. Improves cardiorespiratory system and increases endurance. This is the high-intensity training zone that includes workouts like Kenpo Cardio plus, Interval X Plus, and Cardio Intervals. This zone burns a greater number of calories, and 15% of those calories burned are fat calories.
