Heart rate zone calculations

IMPORTANT: Training with a heart rate monitor (HRM) can help ensure that you don't train
too hard or take it too easy. Depending on the training session, your target HR will be anywhere
from 60% - 95% of your maximum heart rate (MHR).
The traditional way to calculate MHR is to use this formula: 220 minus age for men, or 226
minus age for women. For example. if you are a man of 40 then your estimated MHR is 180.
