• Fat Burn zone, which means your heart rate is between 50% and 69% of your

maximum, is the low-to-medium intensity exercise zone and may be a good

place to start for those new to exercise. It’s called the Fat Burn zone because a

higher percentage of calories are burned from fat, but the total calorie burn

rate is lower.

• Cardio zone, which means your heart rate is between 70% and 84% of your

maximum, is the medium-to-high intensity exercise zone. In this zone you’re

pushing yourself but not straining. For most people this is the exercise zone to

target.

• Peak zone, which means your heart rate is 85% of your maximum or higher, is

the high-intensity exercise zone. Peak zone is for short intense sessions that

improve performance and speed.

At any time you can check your dashboard to see the amount of time you’ve

spent in each zone.

Custom heart rate zones

Instead of using the default heart rate zones you can configure a custom zone.

When your heart rate is above or below your custom zone you’ll see an outline of a

heart, and when your heart rate is in your custom zone you’ll see a solid heart.

To set a custom heart rate zone using the Fitbit.com dashboard:

1. Log in to Fitbit.com.

2. Click the gear icon in the top-right corner of the dashboard and select

Settings.

3. Using the navigation tabs on the left, find Heart Rate Zones and specify the

minimum and maximum heart rate for your custom zone.

4. Sync your Surge to update your tracker with the new setting:

a. Click the Fitbit Connect icon located near the date and time on your

computer.

b. With your Surge nearby click Sync Now.

At any time you can check your dashboard to see the amount of time you’ve spent in

your custom zone.

Missing signal

Surge continuously monitors your heart rate while you’re exercising and throughout

the day. However, occasionally the heart rate monitor may have difficulty finding a

good enough signal to show a hear rate. In those cases, you’ll see this screen:

1 2 ... 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 ... 46 47
