What is Heart Rate Zone Calculator?

Heart rate zones divide exercise intensity into ranges based on your maximum heart rate. Each zone trains your body in a different way.

What this tool does

Estimates your maximum heart rate as 220 minus your age and shows five zones from 50 to 100 percent. If you add your resting heart rate it uses the Karvonen method, which adjusts the zones to your fitness.

How to use it

  1. Enter your age.
  2. Add your resting heart rate for more accurate zones.
  3. Use the zones to plan your workouts.

Did you know?

  • The 220 minus age rule is an average and can be off by 10 beats or more for an individual.
  • Talk to a doctor before starting hard exercise if you have a heart condition.
