What is Target Heart Rate?
Your target heart rate is a range of numbers that reflect how fast your heart should be beating when you exercise. Maintaining your heart rate within these specific zones helps you maximize the benefits of your workout, whether your goal is fat loss, cardiovascular endurance, or peak performance.
Karvonen Formula
The Karvonen formula is a more accurate way to determine target heart rate because it takes into account your resting heart rate (RHR). By considering the difference between your maximum and resting heart rate, it better reflects your actual cardiovascular fitness level.
Exercise Intensity
Varying your exercise intensity across different zones can help prevent plateaus and overtraining. A well-rounded fitness program typically includes work in multiple zones throughout the week.
