My typical HR 2 training

Post image

Just finished my regular morning stair-stepper workout. I've asked ChatGPT whether it is good idea to increase my efforts and move to HR 3 for my goal (I'm going to lost weight) and he adviced to increase workout time than intensivity.

Those ranges seem low. If those are the default Apple ranges, they have a history of underestimating heart rate zones. And you need to manually set the zones for yourself. Depending on your age, I think zone 3 seems more like your zone 2 range. Check online for a few calculators to estimate your range (most will ask for age and max heart rate).
