Q: What is MZ-Instruct?
MZ-Instruct provides video-based exercise tutorials that also prescribes zones for each exercise. Participants will know exactly what zone they should be by the color highlighting the exercise. It brings a new dynamic to a class, promoting engagement with the Myzone screen while allowing the instructor to focus on form and class motivation.
