cardio zone
Aerobic training range
Cardio zone refers to a target heart rate range during exercise where cardiovascular training is most effective—typically 60-80% of maximum heart rate.
Fitness trackers and gym equipment often display which zone you're in: I stayed in the cardio zone for thirty minutes.
The term also describes designated areas in gyms for cardiovascular equipment like treadmills and ellipticals.
