For the ideal “weight loss” range, your heart rate should be between 55% and 70% of your maximum aerobic heart rate. It should never exceed 85% of your maximum aerobic heart rate or go above your target zone. Refer to Diagram 23 for your appro- priate target zone.
When you maintain your heart rate between 70% and 85% of your maximum aerobic heart rate, you are improving your overall cardiovascular/cardiorespira- tory fitness level. Maintaining your heart rate in either zone (weight loss or cardio- vascular) for 30 minutes or more on a regular basis (minimum three times a week) provides the greatest benefits.
