USING THE HEART RATE ZONE TO MAXIMIZE WORKOUT BENEFITS

Research shows that keeping the heart rate within a certain range while exercising promotes muscular and cardiovascular conditioning for maximum health benefits. This range is between 60 percent and 85 percent of a given user’s theoretical maximum heart rate. The maximum rate varies by age. To calculate it, subtract the user’s age from the number 220.

For example, the theoretical maximum heart rate for a 35-year-old user would be 185 beats per minute (bpm) because 220-35=185. Therefore, the optimal heart rate range or zone for a 35-year-old user would be between 111 bpm

(185 x .60) and 157 bpm (185 x .85).

NOTE: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining specific fitness goals and designing a workout program.

To monitor the heart rate during a workout, feel the pulse in the wrist or the carotid artery in the neck while looking at a watch. Count the number of pulse
