Heart Rate Training Zone
To achieve the maximum health benefits from your workout, it is important to know your heart rate training zone. Your training zone is your maximum upper and lower heart rate (beats per minute) during exercise. Calculate your upper and lower heart rate limit using this formula:
Men: 220 – age = MHR
Women: 230 – age = MHR
Multiply your MHR by the perc entages of the selecte d training zone. There are three training zones that are related to your MHR:
Health Maintenance Zone (70% – 60%) — The lowest training intensity . For begi nners and those who want to strengthen their cardiovascular system.
Aerobic Exercise Zone (80% – 70%) — Increases strength and endurance. It works within the body’s oxygen intake capability, burns more calories, and can be maintained over a longer period of time.
Anaerobic Exercise Zone (90% – 80%) — Generates speed and power. It works at or above the body’s oxygen intake capability and builds more muscle, but cannot be maintained over a long period of time.
For example, a 30-year old female who wants to determine her aerobic exercise zone would calculate it as follows:
230 – 30 = 200 (MHR) 200 x .80 = 160 (Upper limit) 200 x .60 = 120 (Lower limit)
