Understanding Heart Rate Zones
Heart rate training zones help you optimize your workouts by targeting specific intensity levels for different fitness goals. Each zone provides unique benefits and should be part of a well-rounded training program.
Zone Benefits
- Fat Burn Zone (50-60% max HR): Builds endurance base, promotes fat metabolism
- Cardio Zone (60-80% max HR): Improves cardiovascular fitness and stamina
- Peak Zone (80-100% max HR): Develops maximum power and speed
Heart Rate Variability
Heart rate naturally varies throughout the day based on activity, stress, hydration, temperature, and other factors. Regular monitoring helps identify patterns and optimize health.
When to Consult a Doctor
- Resting heart rate consistently above 90 bpm
- Heart rate that doesn't increase with exercise
- Irregular or skipped heartbeats
- Chest pain or shortness of breath
- Dizziness during exercise
