Training in the right heart rate zone maximizes your workout efficiency and helps you reach your fitness goals faster. Each zone serves a different purpose in your training plan.
The Five Heart Rate Zones
- Zone 1 (50-60%): Warm-up and recovery, improves overall health
- Zone 2 (60-70%): Fat burning zone, builds endurance
- Zone 3 (70-80%): Aerobic zone, improves cardiovascular fitness
- Zone 4 (80-90%): Anaerobic zone, increases speed and power
- Zone 5 (90-100%): Maximum effort, for short bursts only
Calculate Your Max Heart Rate
The simplest formula is 220 minus your age. For more accuracy, use the Tanaka formula: 208 - (0.7 x age). Your target zones are percentages of this maximum.
