Generally, heart rate zones are calculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate. Fitness Goals Knowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and improve your fitness by understanding and applying these principles. • Your heart rate is a good measure of exercise intensity. • Training in certain 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. If you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table (page 14) to determine the best heart rate zone for your fitness objectives.

Some gyms and health centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate. 2 Wet both electrodes Á on the back of the strap to create a strong connection between your chest and the transmitter. 3 If the heart rate monitor has a contact patch Â, wet the contact patch. 4 Wrap the strap around your chest, and connect the strap hook à to the loop.
