Cardio load

Cardio load doesn't make sense. For example....walk to the gym 22mins. Vigorous zone 4 mins, Moderate 17mins, light 1min.  Cardio load 22.

Stairclimber 39mins.   Vigorous zone 26mins, Moderate 7 mins, light 7 mins. Cardio load 6

@judywest   There is no direct relationship between AZMs and cardio load.  AZMs use simple arithmetic, time in heart rate zones.  Cardio load uses a more complex algorithm.  Cardio load quantifies training stress.  This article might help.  What Can Your "Training Load" Tell You About Your Fitness?

I understand that, however these 2 activities occured within the same
hour, I walked to the gym then went on the stairclimber..... According to
the Cardio load score, I'd have achieved more just walking around my
neighbourhood rather than engaging in an activity designed to give me a
cardio workout....
