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.
If you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the
table (
Heart Rate Zone Calculations, page 12
) to
determine the best heart rate zone for your fitness
objectives.
If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the
calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms and health
centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart
rate. The default maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age.
About Heart Rate Zones
Many athletes use 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 to 5 according to increasing intensity.
Generally, heart rate zones are calculated based on
percentages of your maximum heart rate.
Setting Your Heart Rate Zones
The device uses your user profile information from the
initial setup to determine your default heart rate zones. You
can set separate heart rate zones for sport profiles, such as
running, cycling, and swimming. For
the most accurate calorie data during your activity, set your
maximum heart rate. You can also set each heart rate zone
and enter your resting heart rate manually. You can
manually adjust your zones on the device or using your
Garmin Connect account.
