The five commonly accepted heart

rate zones are numbered from 1 to

5 according to increasing intensity.

Generally, heart rate zones are

calculated based on percentages of

your maximum heart rate.
How Do Heart Rate Zones

Affect Your Fitness Goals?

Knowing your heart rate zones can

help you measure and improve

your fitness by understanding and

applying these principles:
• Your heart rate is a good measure

of exercise intensity.

• Training in certain heart rate

zones can help you improve

cardiovascular capacity and

strength.

• Knowing your heart rate

zones can prevent you from

overtraining and can decrease

your risk of injury.

You can set the low and high heart

rate limits for each zone. If you

know your maximum heart rate,

you can use the table on

page 20

to

determine the best heart rate zone for

your fitness objectives.
If you do not know your maximum

heart rate, use one of the calculators

available on the Internet.
