How do you calculate recommended training zones?

Subtract your heart’s resting rate from your maximum rate. For example, if you are 40 years old, subtract that number from 220; your maximum rate is 180. Next, subtract your resting rate or 80 in this example. Your heart-rate reserve is 100 beats per minute.

How do I calculate my training zone percentage?

To calculate your heart rate training zone, perform the following calculation:

  1. 1 Determine Maximum Heart Rate. 220 – age in years. In other words, subtract your age in years from 220.
  2. 2 Heart Rate Training Zone for Exercise. MHR x % target intensity.

What heart rate zones should I train in?

Temperate zone: You’re exercising at 60% to 70% of your max heart rate. Roughly 65% of the calories you burn are fat. Aerobic zone: Working at 70% to 80% of your max heart rate puts you in the aerobic zone.

How do you calculate zones?

To calculate your target heart rate (THR) zone, multiply your MHR by 64% and 76%. These numbers give you the low and high numbers that your heart rate should stay within the majority of time while you are exercising at a moderate intensity level.

How long should I train in Zone 2?

Zone 2 running is hard because most people find it very challenging to stay at a slow pace for a long time. 45 minutes should be the minimum time that you should aim for.

Should you train in Zone 3?

Zone 3 is considered moderate as far as intensity levels go. Aim for 70-80% of your heart rate max. One of the biggest benefits of training in this zone is the increased blood circulation to your muscles and heart.
