The serenity zones are Amethyst, Sapphire and Diamond. The serenity zones tell you how well your heartbeat and
breathing are in sync and how close you are to the optimal breathing rate of six breaths per minute. The higher the
zone, the better the synchronization with the optimal rhythm. For the highest serenity zone, Diamond, you need to
sustain a slow target rhythm of around six breaths per minute, or slower. The more time you spend in the higher
zones, the more benefits you can expect to feel in the long-term.​

Stay energized throughout your session with the FuelWise™ fueling assistant. FuelWise™ includes three features that
remind you to refuel and help you maintain adequate energy levels during your long sessions. These features are

It's crucial for any serious endurance athlete to maintain adequate energy levels and stay hydrated throughout a long
performance. To perform at your best, you need to fuel your system with carbohydrates and drink regularly in the
course of a long race or a training session. With two useful tools, carbs reminder and drink reminder, FuelWise helps
you find the optimal way to fuel and stay hydrated.
Carbohydrates are ideal for fueling because they can be absorbed and converted into glucose quickly, unlike fat or
protein. Glucose is the primary source of energy used during training. The higher your training intensity, the more
glucose you use in proportion to fat. If your session is shorter than 90 minutes, you don't usually need to fuel with
carbs. However, extra carbs may help you stay more alert and focused even during a shorter session.
