How Heart Rate Zones Work

Heart rate zones are calculated as percentages of your maximum heart rate. Training in different zones targets specific physiological adaptations and fitness goals.

  • • Targeted fitness improvements
  • • Reduced risk of overtraining
  • • Better recovery between sessions
  • • Improved cardiovascular health

Training Guidelines

60-70% of max HR, 3-5 days/week
Zone 2-3 (Intermediate)
70-80% of max HR, 4-5 days/week
Zone 3-4 (Advanced)
80-90% of max HR, 5-6 days/week

Monitoring Tips

  • • Use a heart rate monitor or fitness tracker
  • • Check resting HR regularly for fitness progress
  • • Adjust zones as your fitness improves
  • • Consider seeing a doctor before intense training
