Garmin — Training Zones

From your Garmin Connect settings, select Performance Stats > Training Status > > Resume Training Status . TIP: You should sync your device with your Garmin Connect account. Viewing Your Fitness Age Before the device can calculate an accurate fitness age, you must complete the user profile setup in the Garmin Connect app. Your fitness age gives you an idea of how your fitness compares with a person of the same sex. Your device uses information, such as your age, body mass index (BMI), resting heart rate data, and vigorous activity history to provide a fitness age. If you have an Index scale, your device uses the body fat percentage metric instead of BMI to determine your fitness age.

Exercise and lifestyle changes can impact your fitness age. Select > My Stats > Fitness Age . Viewing Intensity Minutes Before the device can calculate your intensity minutes, you must pair your device and go for a ride with a compatible heart rate monitor ( Pairing Your Wireless Sensors , page 49 ). To improve your health, organizations such as the World Health Organization recommend at least 150 minutes per week of moderate intensity activity or 75 minutes per week of vigorous intensity activity.

The Edge ® bike computer, when paired with a heart rate monitor, tracks your time spent participating in moderate to vigorous activities, your weekly intensity minutes goal, and progress toward your goal. Select > My Stats > Intensity Minutes . Personal Records When you complete a ride, the device displays any new personal records you achieved during that ride. Personal records include your fastest time over a standard distance, longest ride, and most ascent gained during a ride. When paired with a compatible power meter, the device displays the maximum power reading recorded during a 20-minute period.
