About Heart Rate Zones
Many athletes use heart rate zones to measure and increase their cardiovascular strength and improve their
level of fitness. A heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five commonly accepted heart
rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5 according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are
calculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate.
Setting Your Heart Rate Zones
The device uses your user profile information from the initial setup to determine your default heart rate zones.
The device has separate heart rate zones for running and cycling. For the most accurate calorie data during
your activity, you should set your maximum heart rate. You can also set each heart rate zone. You can manually
adjust your zones on the device or using your Garmin Connect account.
