Heart Rate Intensity Chart
We encourage you to use the Zone Finder (page 7) to determine your heart rate zones because it will provide you with
a very accurate correlation between your heart rates and actual effort. However, if you do not wish to use the Zone Finder,
you may also use the following chart to input your heart rate zones. Please note this chart will not be accurate for everyone.
