Rating Workout Intensity
Giving your workouts the correct intensity rating is important and will enhance the accuracy of your data and support optimal platform performance.
Hexis provides you with 3 intensities to choose from. To help you make the most accurate choice for each of your workouts please see the below descriptions:
- Light: During light intensity workouts you can typically still talk easily. A significant amount of time is spent in heart rate zones 1 & 2 (based on a 5 zone system) or below 70% of your maximum heart rate during light workouts.
- Moderate: During moderate intensity workouts you will be slightly breathless. A significant amount of time is spent in heart rate zones 3 (based on a 5 zone system) or between 70-80% of your maximum heart rate during moderate workouts. However, you may still experience pockets of time in zones 1 & 2 as well as 4 & 5 depending on the nature of exercise you're doing (continuous vs intermittent).
- Hard: During hard intensity workouts you will be breathing heavily. A significant amount of time is spent in heart rate zones 4 & 5 (based on a 5 zone system) or greater than 80% of your maximum heart rate.
