Train safely
Push hard. Stay smart.
Zone training is powerful because it lets you control intensity. Here is how to use it responsibly.
Check with a doctor first
If you have a heart condition, are pregnant, or haven't exercised in a while, get medical clearance before training in higher zones.
Warm up and cool down
Spend time in Zone 1–2 at the start and end of every session. It protects your heart and your joints.
Higher zones are seasoning, not the meal
Most of your week belongs in lower zones. Zone 4–5 is for short, deliberate efforts.
Listen to your body
Dizziness, chest pain, or unusual shortness of breath means stop. The app is a guide, not a doctor.
Max HR is an estimate
The 220-minus-age formula is a rough average. If you know your true max from a test, your zones will be more accurate.
