Heart Rate Zone Calculator
Understanding your heart rate zones is essential for optimizing your workouts and monitoring your exercise intensity. The Heart Rate Zone Calculator helps you determine your target heart rate based on your maximum heart rate and resting heart rate.
Why are Heart Rate Zones Important?
Heart rate zones help you gauge the intensity of your workouts. Training in specific heart rate zones can improve cardiovascular fitness, increase endurance, and enhance fat burning. Monitoring your heart rate during exercise can help you stay within your desired intensity level.
For more information, you can refer to the Wikipedia article on Heart Rate.
How to Calculate Your Target Heart Rate
To calculate your target heart rate, you can use the following formula:
Target Heart Rate = (Max Heart Rate - Resting Heart Rate) * %Intensity + Resting Heart Rate
Where:
- Max Heart Rate: Typically estimated as 220 minus your age.
- Resting Heart Rate: Your heart rate when you are at rest, usually measured first thing in the morning.
- %Intensity: The desired intensity level for your workout (e.g., 0.70 for 70% intensity).
