Guest guest Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Good question. The zone is between 130 and below 150, I believe on my HRM. I have the Polar A5, it's pretty basic and won't tell me how long I've been in each zone. I understand what you are saying, I'm using it as a tool to see how hard I'm working, maybe not the proper way to use it as I can look at the calorie burn, but I still like to see how long I'm in the " zone " . Call me crazy, I just like to keep track of all the numbers.
