SELECTING YOUR TARGET HEART RATE ZONE

Losing weight and managing to keep it off is a lot easier when you exercise in your target heart rate
zone. To get the most out of any exercise program, you should target 50% to 85% of your maximum
heart rate depending on your fitness level and objectives.
Active Zone: 50% - 60% of maximum heart rate.
This zone is ideal for fitness beginners on a low to moderate intensity program. Exercising in this zone
reduces blood pressure and cholesterol.
Fat Burning Zone: 60% - 75% of maximum heart rate.
Exercising in this zone strengthens the cardiovascular system and nearly all the calories burned are
from fats.
Endurance Zone: 75% - 85% of maximum heart rate.
Reaching this zone requires more intense aerobic activity and is perfect for fitness enthusiasts
working to burn maximum calories from fat and carbohydrates. Cardiovascular strengthening,
increased metabolism and elevated caloric burn are the primary benefits.
