How To Effectively Workout At Your Own Level
InZone
TM
system provides visual colour feedback through the skirting light. The different colours encourages users to optimise their workout
efforts for maximum result based on heart rate level, and helps users to stay in their target heart rate zones. InZone
TM
system will detect heart
rate by (i) holding onto the contact heart rate plates or (ii) by wearing a telemetry heart rate chest strap sensor. It is recommended to wear a
telemetry heart rate chest strap for this function. During a workout there are 4 different colours that represent your workout intensity.

PLEASE NOTE
The heart rate function of the Intenza Treadmill is
an exercise tool. Various factors can affect the
accuracy of your heart rate readouts. The heart rate
function of Intenza Treadmills should not be
considered or used as a medical device.
GREEN. THE ENERGY EFFICIENT OR RECOVERY ZONE 55%
—
65%
Training within this zone develops basic endurance and aerobic capacity. All low intensity running should be completed at a maximum of
65%. Another advantage of exercising in this zone is that while you are happily burning fat, you may lose weight and will be allowing your
muscles to re—energise with glycogen, which has been consumed during those faster pace workouts.
YELLOW. THE AEROBIC ZONE 65% TO 75%
Training in this zone will improve your cardiovascular system. The body’s ability to transport oxygen and carbon dioxide to and away from
the working muscles can be developed and improved. As you become fitter and stronger from training in this zone, you may engage in some
of your long weekend runs at up to 75% zone, enjoy the benefits of burning fat and improvement of aerobic capacity.
ORANGE. THE ANAEROBIC ZONE 75%
—
85%
Training in this zone will develop your lactic acid system. In this zone, your individual anaerobic threshold (AT) is found— and sometimes
referred to as the point of deflection (POD). In this heart rate zone, the amount of fat being utilised as the main source of energy is greatly
reduced and glycogen stored in the muscle is predominantly used. One of the by—products of burning this glycogen is lactic acid. The point
at which the body can no longer quickly remove the lactic acid from the working muscles is your anaerobic threshold (AT). Through the
correct training, it is possible to delay the AT by being able to increase your ability to deal with the lactic acid for a longer period of time or
by improving your AT level.
RED. THE EXTREME ZONE 85%
—
100%
Training in this zone will only be possible for a short period. It effectively trains your fast twitch muscle fibres and helps to develop speed.
This zone is reserved for interval running and only the very fit are able to train effectively within this zone.
