Description

Your heart rate may be elevated, but not enough to be considered exercise.

Fat Burn Between

50% and

69% of your maximum heart rate

This is a low-to-medium intensity exercise zone. This zone may be a good place to start for those new to exercise. It's called the Fat Burn zone because a higher percentage of calories are burned from fat, but the total calorie burn rate is lower.

Cardio Between

70% and

84% of your maximum heart rate

This is a medium-to-high intensity exercise zone. In this zone you're pushing yourself but not straining. For most people this is the exercise zone to target.

Peak Greater than 85% of your maximum heart rate

This is a high-intensity exercise zone. This zone is for short intense sessions that improve performance and speed.

Note that the heart-rate value appears gray if your watch is searching for a stronger reading.

Custom heart-rate zones

Set a custom heart-rate zone or a custom max heart rate in the Fitbit app if you have a specific target in mind. For example, elite athletes might have a target that differs from the American Heart Association’s recommendations for most people.
