• 95% accuracy using the PPG sensor on the wrist and arm.

Myzone Effort Points, or MEPs, are how Myzone measures effort. You begin earning MEPs once you are above 50% of your max heart rate. The more effort you put in, the more MEPs you get back. 

• GRAY Zone: 50-59% of MHR = 1 MEP
• BLUE Zone: 60-69% of MHR = 2 MEPs
• GREEN Zone: 70-79% of MHR = 3 MEPs
• YELLOW Zone: 80-89% of MHR = 4 MEPs
• RED Zone: 90-100% of MHR = 4 MEPs

The red zone does not exceed 4 MEPs per minute because Myzone does not want to encourage overtraining.

The color of the bars in your workout graph is based on the average effort for that entire minute. Therefore if you are at 91% for 30 seconds and 88% for 30 seconds your average for that minute would be 89.5% and your graph would be yellow.

Your Time in Zones is based on the total amount of time spent in each zone over the course of the workout. Therefore your time in each zone may not be reflected directly in the graph. 

An example here is that 17 minutes were spent in the Red Zone over the entire workout but only two minutes averaged above 90%.

Resting heart rate is the number of times your heart beats per minute at rest. It is best to measure this first thing in the morning. As you become more fit, your resting heart rate will reduce as your heart becomes more efficient. Resting heart rate is not used in the calculation of MEPs for any information on your Myzone workout tile. If you are sitting or lying and are calm, relaxed, and aren’t ill, your heart rate is normally between 60 and 100 beats per minute (American Heart Association https://www.heart.org/en). 

When you first register your Myzone belt, you might notice your resting heart rate starts with a default setting of 100 beats per minute. As you continue using the belt, your RHR will change which is very normal! Each time the belt observes when you maintain a lower heart rate than your current RHR setting, it will automatically lower your RHR down to the new value in your Myzone profile. 

Myzone sets your resting heart rate to 100bpm (beats per minute) as standard. When you first register your belt it is recommended that you perform a resting heart rate test. This involves sitting or lying comfortably while wearing your belt for 10 minutes, ideally in the morning. When you next upload your data at the Myzone Console your resting heart rate will recalculate to your actual resting value. You can also ask your trainer to adjust your resting heart rate if it does not appear to be accurate or if you have completed a resting heart rate test.

Maximum heart rate is the highest heart rate an individual can achieve through exercise stress.

Myzone uses the HUNT formula (2013). Research has found that this is the most accurate maximum Heart Rate calculation to establish an estimate for large populations:

Max HR = 211 – (0.64 x age)

This is based on population norms. If you are able to push your maximum HR past this limit for 30 seconds, your Myzone profile will automatically adjust to reflect your capabilities. You can also ask your coach or trainer to adjust the MHR on your profile if it does not appear to be accurate or upon completion of a submaximal heart rate test. 

Your maximum heart rate will reduce if you have some time away from exercise. While there is often a correlation between aging and MHR, getting one year older will not cause your MHR to decrease if you have maintained consistent levels of physical activity. Your ability to maintain a higher heart rate will increase with training. 

Routine exercise is incredibly important to our long-term health. Since physiological adaptations to regular exercise can take several weeks or months, rewarding consistency early on makes it more engaging, and therefore more probable, for us to achieve our long-term goals.

Myzone understands this and developed Myzone Status to encourage people to build the healthy habit from day one. The concept is simple – the more people believe they will be successful exercisers, the more likely they are to keep exercising. Myzone Status focuses on a realistic monthly goal, rewarding consistency and providing a new badge of improvement before the physical results are seen and felt. 

Myzone uses the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines to establish the number of Myzone Effort Points (MEPs) needed to earn or keep your status each month. The WHO recommends that healthy adults perform a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity cardiorespiratory exercise per week (and more for improved fitness benefits). This equals 1,300 MEPs per month.

Your Status will drop if you do not earn at least 1300 MEPs each month. The first month you miss your goal, your status will drop down to the beginning of your current level. For example if you were at Silver +5 months, you would move down to Silver+0.

The first month you are promoted to a new status, your monthly count is 0. If you do not achieve 1300 MEPs in the first month, you will immediately drop to the previous level. You will move down a status level for each month missed from there.

Myzone displays your Status in every post-workout email. It also tells you how many MEPs you need to earn to achieve 1300. You can also track your Status on your Myzone app. It displays beneath your profile image on your home feed. You can also tap Me on the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen. This view shows your monthly count so you can see how close you are to leveling up. 

Yes! We understand life happens sometimes, if you need to freeze your status you can submit a ticket to Myzone Support to process your status freeze.
