Heart Rate Training Zone Calculator

Many exercisers question whether they are working too hard or should be breaking more of a sweat. How do you know if you are exercising in the right intensity zones? That is where monitoring your heart rate comes in.

This calculator calculates your cardiovascular training zones by taking your resting heart rate into account. To find your resting heart rate, take your pulse for a full 60 seconds first thing in the morning, before you get out of bed. Take this measurement once a morning for three mornings and then use the average of these for your resting heart rate.

You can use the results of this calculator to make sure you are exercising at the correct intensity.
