What is the intensity level for the recovery energy zone?

The recovery energy zone is characterized by an intensity level that typically falls between 50-60% of maximum heart rate (MHR). This zone is designed to allow participants to recover from higher intensity workouts while still engaging in physical activity.

During this intensity level, the body is working hard enough to promote cardiovascular health and improve endurance without putting undue stress on the muscles or cardiovascular system. It allows for active recovery, helping to flush out lactic acid and facilitating the repair of muscle fibers.

Staying within this range encourages consistent participation in workouts without overexertion, making it particularly valuable in spinning classes, where various intensities are utilized to improve fitness levels and performance over time.
