Lazy Tuesday and Heart Rate Zones

Unfortunatley Wednesday evening i got sat in front of the PC doing some stuff that i had been putting off for some time and before i knew it was 10 pm and i was not in the mood for a weights session and so i decided to git the session a miss

As promisse3d in a previous post i will elaborate a little about hear rate zone training

The Energy Efficient or Recovery Zone - 60% to 70%
Training within this zone develops basic endurance and aerobic capacity

The Aerobic Zone - 70% to 80%
Training in this zone will develop your cardiovascular system

The Anaerobic Zone - 80% to 90%
Training in this zone will develop your lactic acid system

The Red Line Zone 90% to 100%
Training in this zone will only be possible for short periods of time.

For more info on each zone and more about heart rate training go to Sports Coach
