HEART RATE ZONES
Your target heart rate (HR) zone consists of your upper HR limit and your lower
HR limit. These limits are usually a percentage of your maximal heart rate (MHR). If
you do not know your MHR or upper and lower HR limits, you can check with your
doctor, or use this following MHR calculation method as guidance:
MHR = 208 – ( 0.7 x Age )

50 – 60%: Improve Overall Health and Help Recovery
60 – 70%: Improve Basic Endurance and Fat Burning
70 – 80%: Improve Aerobic Fitness
80 – 90%: Increase Maximum Performance Capacity
