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.

Fitness Goals

Knowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and improve
your fitness by understanding and applying these principles.
• Your heart rate is a good measure of exercise intensity.
• Training in certain heart rate zones can help you improve cardio-
vascular capacity and strength.
• Knowing your heart rate zones can prevent you from overtraining
and can decrease your risk of injury.
If you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table
Rate Zone Calculations)
fitness objectives.
If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the calcula-
tors available on the Internet. Some gyms and health centers can pro-
vide a test that measures maximum heart rate. The default maximum
heart rate is 220 minus your age.
