📊 What Are Heart Rate Zones?

We break down the five commonly used heart rate zones, what they mean, how they’re calculated, and why they matter.

🔥 Benefits of Zone-Based Training

Discover how understanding your heart rate zones can help you tailor your training to improve endurance, burn fat more efficiently, recover better, and perform at your best.

🧠 Common Myths & Mistakes

We bust the nonsense: Why more sweat doesn’t always mean more progress, and why maxing out every session might be doing you more harm than good.

🎭 Performers & Heart Rate

We explore how heart rate tracking can help performers (yes, even during eight show weeks) manage recovery, increase aerobic capacity, and avoid burnout.

🎯 Tools & Tips

Chest strap or wrist tracker? Zone 2 or Zone 4? We’ll give you the lowdown on how to get started and what to look for in a heart rate monitor.

Whether you’re training for Hyrox, a half marathon, or just trying to survive dance callbacks, heart rate training could be the missing piece in your routine.
