Breathing rate is a great tool to measure the intensity of your exercise. You can choose to set only an upper limit alert if you’d like the vibration alerts to remind you to stay under a sustainable effort, such as on a long easy run. Or if you’re trying to stay within an effort zone of a particular intensity, you could set both upper limit and lower limit alerts so that you get alerted if your training intensity is falling outside your desired zone. Here are some general guidelines on thresholds for breathing rates.
25-30 breaths/minute: Very Easy Effort
30-35 breaths/minute: Easy Effort
35-40 breaths/minute: Moderate Effort
40-45 breaths/minute: Moderate to High Effort
45-50 breaths/minute: Hard Effort
50 -55 breaths/minute: Very Hard Effort
>55 breaths/minute: Max Effort
These are typical ranges and you can further customise your zone based on the data on your workouts.
