What percentage of maximum heart rate does the "Blue" heart rate zone correspond to?

The "Blue" heart rate zone in the context of Orangetheory Fitness corresponds to 62-70% of maximum heart rate. This zone is often referred to as the "Endurance" zone and is designed to help improve cardiovascular fitness. Training within this percentage allows individuals to build endurance and sustain intermediate levels of activity, making it essential for longer-duration exercises.

In this zone, the body primarily uses fat as a fuel source, promoting fat loss while enhancing aerobic capacity. Exercising at this intensity helps participants maintain their activity for extended periods, making it important for overall fitness progression and for preparing the body for higher intensity efforts.

Understanding the significance of each heart rate zone helps coaches to effectively guide participants during workouts, ensuring that members are training at the appropriate intensity to meet their fitness goals.
