Many cyclists and other athletes
are using heart rate zones to
measure and increase their
cardiovascular strength and
improve their level of fitness.
What are heart rate zones?
A heart rate zone is simply a
range of heartbeats per minute
(bpm). The five commonly
accepted heart rate zones are
numbered from 1–5 according to
increasing intensity. Generally,
heart rate zones are calculated
based on percentages of your
maximum heart rate. See Table 1

effects of exercise as your heart
rate reaches each of these zones
during a workout.
