MAXIMUM / UPPER / LOWER HR LIMITS

To help achieve maximum health benefits from your workout program, it is important to know your:

Maximum Heart Rate (MHR)

Upper heart rate limit

Lower heart rate limit

MHR is expressed in beats per minute. You can get your MHR from an MHR test, or you can estimate it by using the following formula:

220 – age = MHR

The watch is pre-programmed with 5 HR target zone options, each with its lower and upper heart rate limit, as listed in the table below:

 

 

 

EN

Lower limit

Upper limit

Type of activity

 

 

 

 

 

50% x MHR

60% x MHR

Moderate Activity

 

 

 

 

 

61% x MHR

70% x MHR

Weight Management

 

 

 

 

 

71% x MHR

80% x MHR

Aerobic Zone

 

 

 

 

 

81% x MHR

90% x MHR

Anaerobic Threshold Zone

 

91% x MHR

100% x MHR

Red Line Zone (Maximum

 

 

 

capacity)

 

 

 

 

 

The most common zone range is from 50% to 80% of your Maximum Heart Rate. This is where you achieve cardiovascular benefits, burn fat and become more fit.
