Which range corresponds to the Very Light zone?

• A. Light (36-54%)
• B. Moderate (55-70%)
• C. Hard (71-90%)
• D. Very Light (<35%)

Answer: (D)

When training intensity is described by percent of maximum heart rate, the Very Light zone is the lowest level of effort. It means your heart rate is less than 35% of your maximum. At this pace you can carry on a conversation easily and breathing remains relaxed, making it ideal for recovery days, warm-ups, or very easy work when you’re just starting to build endurance. The other ranges push harder: light is about 36–54%, moderate 55–70%, and hard 71–90%. Since Very Light is defined as under 35%, the range that fits is the one described as less than 35%.
