AGE

Fitness Safety The target heart rate chart indicates aver- age rate zones for different ages. A variety of different factors (including medication, emotional state, temperature and other conditions) can affect the target heart rate zone that is best for you. Your physician or health care profes- sional can help you determine the exercise intensity that is appropriate for your age and condition.
