3.1 SETTING USER
The calculated max. HR (heart rate) forms the basis for deter-
mining the upper and lower limits of your preferred training zone.
Selecting and setting the training zone is done in the “Settings //
User // Train. Zone” menu. Depending on your personal targets,
you can choose to activate one of the following training zones in
the ONYX EASY.
1. Fat Burner Zone: k approx. 55–70 % of HR max.
When training at a lower intensity and hence longer period,
a bigger percentage of fat than carbohydrate is used to provide
energy. Therefore people who primarily want to reduce their
weight and burn fat should train in this area. The recommended
training period is 45-90 min.
Beginners, who have not done any sport for a long time, should
also start training in this area of intensity at first. This significantly
reduces the danger of over-exertion and the associated health
risks.
2. Fitness Zone: k approx. 70–80 % of HR max.
Heart-circulation training is predominantly used to improve
aerobic performance.
3. Personal Zone:
ONYX EASY also gives you the opportunity to set your own
training zone. To do this you change the upper and lower limits
in the “Settings //User // Train. Zone” menu option using the
navigation button k CHANGE.
Note: Notes about making settings can be found at the start of
this chapter.
