MAXIMUM / LOWER / UPPER HEART RATE LIMIT

Before you begin any exercise program and to achieve maximum
health benefits from your workout, it is important to know your:

• Lower heart rate limit
• Upper heart rate limit
To manually calculate your own heart rate limits, follow the
instructions below:
MHR
MHR =
220 - age
MHR%
65-78%
65-85%
78-90%
LOWER LIMIT
MHR x lower target
activity %.
E.g. Target activity is 0
Lower Limit =
MHR x 65%
20
DESCRIPTION

intensity level. It is good for
beginners and those who

Generates speed and
power. It works at or above
the body's oxygen intake
capability, builds muscle,
and cannot be maintained
for a long period of time.
UPPER LIMIT
MHR x upper target
activity %.
E.g. Target activity is 0
Upper Limit =
MHR x 78%
