MAXIMUM HEART RATE

It is important you know your maximum heart rate
(MHR) training zone, upper heart rate limit and
lower heart rate limit before you be

gin. They help
you achieve the maximum health benefits out of
your workout. MHR is expressed in beats per minute.
Use the following formula to estimate your MHR:

220 - age = MHR

There are several training zones that produce specific
results in your fitness program. The most common
zones range between 50% to 80% of your MHR.
This is where you achieve cardiovascular benefits,
burn fat, and become more physically fit. When
setting your watch, the lowest % of the zone you
choose becomes your lower heart rate limit and the
highest % becomes the upper heart rate limit.

50%

60%

70%

80%

90%

100%

Calculate the lower and upper heart rate limits by
multiplying your MHR by the percentages for the
selected training zone.

For example:

40-year-old man training for Weight Management.

His Lower Heart Rate Limit (220-40) x 60% = 108
His Upper Heart Rate Limit (220-40) x 70% = 126

30-year-old woman training for Aerobic Zone.

Her Lower Heart Rate Limit (220-30) x 70% = 133
Her Upper Heart Rate Limit (220-30) x 80% = 152

PERSONAL DATA

Determining your individual training zone is a critical
step in the process toward a safe and efficient training.

Start slowly. Select the training zone most suitable for
your needs. Exercise regularly for 20 to 30 minutes,
three to four times a week for a healthier cardio vascular
system. Gradually step up your training zone as you
become more physically fit.

TRAINING ZONES

• The Weight Management zone has the

lowest training intensity.

This zone is good for
beginners and those who want to strengthen their
cardiovascular systems.

• The Aerobic zone increases strength and endurance.
It works within the body’

s oxygen intake capability,

burns more calories and can last longer .

• The Anaerobic Threshold zone generates speed
and power

. It works at or above the body’s oxygen
intake capability, builds more muscle and cannot
be maintained for a long time.

WARNING

Consult your physician or healthcare provider to help
you determine your maximum heart rate, upper and
lower limits, the exercise frequency and duration
appropriate for you and your specific goals.
