Heart Rate Zones

notice

Consult your physician to specify 

heart rate zones/targets that are 

appropriate for your fitness level and 

health condition. 
Many athletes are using heart rate 

zones to measure and increase their 

cardiovascular strength and improve 

their level of fitness. A heart rate 

zone is a set range of heartbeats per 

minute. The five commonly accepted 

heart rate zones are numbered from 

1–5 according to increasing intensity. 

The device sets the heart rate zone 

ranges (see the table on 

page 41

based on your maximum and resting 

heart rates set in your user profile 

(see

 page 26

).

You can also customize your heart 

rate zones in your user profile of 

Garmin Connect or Garmin Training 

Center. After customizing your heart 

rate zones, transfer data to your 

device. 

How Do Heart Rate Zones  

Affect Your Fitness Goals?

Knowing your heart rate zones can 

help you measure and improve 

your fitness by understanding and 

applying these principles:
•  Your heart rate is a good measure 

of exercise intensity.

•  Training in certain heart rate 

zones can help you improve 

cardiovascular capacity and 

strength.

•  Knowing your heart rate 

zones can prevent you from 

overtraining and decrease your 

risk of injury.
