Question 1

How do I find my maximum heart rate?

Accepted Answer

The common estimate for maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age. For more accuracy, you can do a maximal exertion test under professional supervision, or use a formula like 208 - (0.7 × age).

Question 2

What are the five heart rate training zones?

Accepted Answer

Zone 1 (50–60% max HR): very light recovery. Zone 2 (60–70%): fat-burning and base endurance. Zone 3 (70–80%): aerobic fitness. Zone 4 (80–90%): anaerobic threshold. Zone 5 (90–100%): maximum effort.

Question 3

Which zone is best for fat burning?

Accepted Answer

Zone 2 (60–70% of max HR) is often called the fat-burning zone because your body uses a higher percentage of fat as fuel. However, higher intensity zones burn more total calories, which can be better for weight loss overall.
