Description
Zone 2 app tracks how much of your weekly workout time is performed in the zone 2 heart rate range, typically between 60-70% of your maximum heart rate.
Aiming for 150 minutes or more of weekly exercise in zone 2 is recommended, as it optimizes endurance, enhances fat-burning efficiency, and fosters sustainable fitness gains by maintaining a balance between intensity and recovery. The optimal number of minutes to spend in zone 2 per week can vary based on individual fitness levels.

Your one-time purchase of Zone 2 includes the full iPhone app and Apple Watch app.
If you do not have an Apple Watch, you can connect common Bluetooth heart rate monitors, such as the Polar H10, Garmin chest strap, and new Garmin watches, to view your heart rate zone progress live during a workout.
If you have an Apple Watch, use the Apple Watch app to see zones live on your wrist with haptic feedback, Siri announcements, and health metrics.
If you already have a different app you like for tracking workouts, no worries; Zone 2 uses all workouts saved to your device with heart rate data to calculate your weekly zone minutes.

What is zone 2 heart rate training?
Zone 2 training refers to exercise performed at a moderate intensity that keeps your heart rate in a specific heart rate zone, typically between 60-70% of your maximum heart rate. This is the heart rate zone where your body is able to utilize oxygen most efficiently, which can lead to a range of benefits for your fitness and health.
Zone 2 training is important for a number of reasons, including:
• Improved aerobic capacity: By training in the zone 2 heart rate range, your body becomes more efficient at using oxygen to produce energy, which can improve your overall aerobic capacity.
• Increased fat burning: During moderate-intensity exercise, your body relies more on fat as a source of fuel, which can help to improve your body composition and reduce body fat.
• Improved cardiovascular health: Regular exercise in the zone 2 heart rate range can help to strengthen your heart and improve blood flow, which can reduce the risk of heart disease.
• Increased endurance: Training at a moderate intensity can help to improve your endurance and stamina, which can be particularly helpful for endurance athletes such as long-distance runners or cyclists.

Ratings and Reviews
Great app!
This is a great app. What would make it even better is if you could enter more specific workouts to track other than the categories that are provided.
Simple and Effective Heart Rate Training App
I use the Z2 app with a chest strap monitor only, without any watch. This means I rely entirely on audio cues to track my workouts. Despite some mixed reviews, I saw the app's great potential right after my purchase. What I love most about this app is its simplicity. I train based on my heart rate for all activities except strength training, and this app allows me to do that effortlessly by setting time goals for each zone and hitting start.
Initially, without a watch, I struggled to control my training variables since I couldn’t get real-time feedback. I could see the total minutes and zones after the workout, but I lacked in-the-moment updates. The latest update has addressed these issues. Now, the app can save goals from past workouts, making it easy to reload previous sessions. Most importantly, it now gives audio cues when a goal is reached, providing real-time feedback and helping me meet my targets.
For me, this app is a 5-star tool due to its simplicity and precise functionality. Although it's named "Zone 2" to target a specific audience, the app is versatile and works for all heart rate zones. It can be customized based on age and other parameters, including audio cue settings.
For those like me who want a straightforward app to track their workouts without spending much time configuring different sessions, this app is perfect. Highly recommended! Thank you.
