Eh i don't know if I would say right zone if you are specifying what is right.
Sprinting up a hill vs jogging
heart rate will be in different zones yet both are cardio/aerobic0 -
Strictly speaking they are different but both often used to refer to moderate exercise like jogging/running
Cardio means an exercise where the heartrate is raised for a good length of time
Aerobic - means 'with air' and refers to how your muscles are working. Typically if you are running gently your muscles will be working aerobically. If you sprint hard then they work anaerobically (without air).
So while all exercise could be described as ''cardio' only exercise within certain limits (normally % of max heartrate) should be described as aerobic0 -
