HEART RATE TRAINING
The first step in knowing the right intensity for your training is to find out your maximum heart rate (max HR = 220 – your age). The
age-based method provides an average statistical prediction of your max HR and is a good method for the majority of people, especially
those new to heart rate training. The most precise and accurate way of determining your individual max HR is to have it clinically tested
by a cardiologist or exercise physiologist through the use of a maximal stress test. If you are over the age of 40, overweight, have been
sedentary for several years, or have a history of heart disease in your family, clinical testing is recommended. This chart gives examples of
the heart rate range for a 30 year old exercising at 5 different heart rate zones. For example, a 30-year-old’s max HR is 220 – 30 = 190 bpm and
90% max HR is 190 × 0.9 = 171 bpm.
