What is the difference between light, moderate, and hard intensity?

Giving your workouts the correct intensity rating is important and will enhance the accuracy of your data and support optimal platform performance.

Hexis provides you with 3 intensities to choose from. To help you make the most accurate choice for each of your workouts please see the below descriptions:

Light: During light intensity workouts you can typically still talk easily. A significant amount of time is spent in heart rate zones 1 & 2 (based on a 5 zone system) or below 70% of your maximum heart rate during light workouts.

Moderate: During moderate intensity workouts you will be slightly breathless. A significant amount of time is spent in heart rate zones 3 (based on a 5 zone system) or between 70-80% of your maximum heart rate during moderate workouts. However, you may still experience pockets of time in zones 1 & 2 as well as 4 & 5 depending on the nature of exercise you're doing (continuous vs intermittent).

Hard: During hard intensity workouts you will be breathing heavily. A significant amount of time is spent in heart rate zones 4 & 5 (based on a 5 zone system) or greater than 80% of your maximum heart rate.

Please note in 2024 these options will update to a 100 point intensity scale.

What are a classed as a Competition and Key Performance workouts?

When you add a workout you may choose to identify if it is a Competition or Key Performance workout. To help you tag your workouts effectively please see the descriptions of each of these below:

• Competition refers to competitive events. This also includes games, matches and races. If you identify a workout as a Competition, your Fuel Plan may be amended to increase your carbohydrate and energy availability in the lead up to this event.
• Key Performance workouts are the most important training events of your week where your focus is solely on performing at your best. Typically, most individuals have 1, or 2 max, of these workouts per week. If you identify a workout as a Key Performance, Hexis may amend your Fuel Plan and increase your carbohydrate availability in the lead up to this event.
