How to find the right Target Zone ?

a)Locate your age.

c)Read up from your age to the target you chose.

d)Draw a straight line from the upper edge of the target to left and you find the Upper Limit of your Target Zone.

e)Then draw another straight line from the lower edge of the target to left and you find the Lower Limit for your Target Zone.

f)You have now found your Target Zone. As you exercise, make sure that your heart rate stays within the Target Zone (between the Lower Limit and Upper Limit) you selected to get maximum benefit of your workout.

4.Recommended structure of an exercise session

Begin each workout slowly and give your body a chance to warm up at least for 5 minutes so that your heart rate is below your Target Zone. Gradually increase the intensity of your exercise until you are in your Target Zone.

Remain at your Target Zone for a desired time. After that, gradually reduce the intensity of your exercise and let your heart rate fall below your Target Zone with a 5 minute cool down period.

As an example of an exercise session for a 35- year-old person with Improved Fitness as target, please see the following chart.
