USEFUL REFERENCE

PHYSICAL CONDITION AND WORKOUT

To help achieve maximum health benefits from your workout program, it is important to know your:

  • Maximum heart rate (MHR)
  • Upper heart rate limit
  • Lower heart rate limit

MHR is expressed in beats per minute. You can get your MHR from an MHR test, or you can estimate it by using the following formula: 220 - age = MHR

TRAINING ZONES

There are several training zones that are relevant to a fitness program. The most popular zone range is from 50% to 80% of your maximum heart rate. This is where you achieve cardiovascular benefits, burn fat, and become fitter. When programming your watch, the lower percentage of the zone you choose becomes your lower heart rate limit and the higher percentage becomes the upper heart rate limit.

There are three training zones, as described below:

TRAINING ZONE MHR% DESCRIPTION
Health Maintenance 65-78% This is the lowest training intensity level. It is good for beginners and those who want to strengthen their cardiovascular systems.
Aerobic Exercise 65-85% Increases strength and endurance. It works within the body's oxygen intake capability, burns more calories and can be maintained for a long period of time.
Anaerobic Exercise 78-90% 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.

The upper and lower heart rate limits are calculated by multiplying your MHR by the percentages of the selected training zone.

For example:
A 40-year-old training for basic health maintenance:

  • His Upper Heart Rate Limit [220 - 40(age)] x 78%
  • His Lower Heart Rate Limit [220 - 40(age)] x 65%


Always warm up before exercise and select the training zone that best suits your physique. Exercise regularly, 20 to 30 minutes per session, three to four times a week for a healthier cardiovascular system.


Determining your individual training zone is a critical step in the process towards an efficient and safe training program. Please consult your doctor or health professional to help you determine exercise frequency and duration appropriate for your age, condition and specific goals.
