What is Target Heart Rate Zone?

Target Heart Rate Zone tells you

the number of times per minute

your heart needs to beat to achieve

a desired workout effect. It is

represented as a percentage of the

maximum number of times your

heart can beat per minute. Target

Zone will vary for each individual,

depending on age, current level

of conditioning, and personal

ﬁtness goals. The American Heart

Association recommends working-

out at a Target Heart Rate Zone

of between 60% and 75% of your

maximum heart rate. A beginner

will want to workout in the 60%

range while a more experienced

exerciser will want to workout in

the 70-75% range. See chart for

reference.

ExAMPLE:

For a 42-year-old user: Find age along the bottom of the chart (round to 40), follow age column up to

the target zone bar. Results: 60% of maximum Hear Rate = 108 Beats Per Minute, 75% of maximum

Heart Rate = 135 Beat Per Minute.

ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE BEGINNING AN ExERCISE PROGRAM.
