About

When you exercise, you should be aware of your heart rate. If your heart rate is too low, you won't be getting any benefit from your workout. If your heart rate is too high, you may be burning calories, but you may cause injury to your body. Your target heart rate zone is your aerobic zone. A good guideline is to stay within your target zone during the majority of your workout. Your aerobic zone keeps your heart rate at a level that will burn body fat and calories and also keeps your heart beating fast enough to gain cardiovascular health. This means your heart and lung capacity can improve over time.

Use this HR Zones App to determine your target heart rate. Your heart rate zones are based on your age and resting heart rate. This App lets you calculate your heart rate zones using two different methods. You can change the method used on the Settings page. If you are not sure which settings to use, just leave them alone. The default settings are the best for most people.

Heart rate zones and exercise ability vary from person to person. Use the data from this App as a guideline. If you have any questions about your heart rate zones, please consult your doctor. Always be sure to discuss any new exercise routine with your doctor before you begin.
