Consult your physician to specify heart
rate zones that are appropriate for your
tness level and health condition.
Many athletes use heart rate zones
to measure and increase their
cardiovascular strength and improve
their level of tness. A heart rate zone
is a specied range of heartbeats per
minute. The ve commonly accepted
heart rate zones are numbered from 1
to 5 according to increasing intensity.
How do heart rate zones affect your
tness goals? Knowing your heart
rate zones can help you measure and
improve your tness by understanding
and applying these principles:
• Your heart rate is a good measure of
exercise intensity.
• Training in specic heart rate
zones can help you improve
cardiovascular capacity and
strength.
• Knowing your heart rate zones can
prevent you from overtraining and
can decrease your risk of injury.
