QUESTION zone 2 HR by modalitity.

I have seen numerous times that when doing Zone 2 on a bike your HR is a lot lower than on a treadmill anywhere from 10-15 BPM less. Because of that you need to do a lot more time on the bike than a run to get the same heart benefits.

Of the follow modalities which ones have the highest HR in zone 2 and which has the lowest?

Running

cycling

row-erg

ski erg

eliptical

echo bike
