Calculating training zones
One widely used method to calculate your maximum heart rate is to subtract your age from 220.
For simplicity, we have made a table for you to work out your training zone. Use the principle
described above to calculate your maximum heart rate (220 - your age).
Please note that the table is not 100% accurate for every person. Your maximum heart rate also
depends on other factors such as your fitness level and genetic preconditions.
