Exercise Heart Rate Zones

Exercise Heart Rate Zones categorize the intensity of your workout based on your heart rate, helping you target specific fitness goals. These zones are calculated as percentages of your maximum heart rate. For example, moderate exercise might be 50-70%, improving cardiovascular health, while higher zones (roughly 70-85%) are used for intense training or fat burning. Tracking your heart rate ensures you're exercising at an optimal intensity—challenging but safe—maximizing benefits like endurance, strength, or recovery. Understanding these zones helps tailor workouts to your fitness level and goals for more effective and efficient training.
