PHYSICAL CONDITION AND WORKOUT
To help achieve maximum health benefi ts 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
Training zones
There are several training zones that are relevant to a fi tness
program. The most popular zone range is from 50% to 80%
of your maximum heart rate. This is where you achieve
cardiovascular benefi ts, burn fat, and become fi tter. When
programming your watch, the lower percentage of the zone
you choose becomes your lower heart rate limit and the
higher percentage becomes the upper heart rate limit.
