How this works

Maximum heart rate is estimated as 220 minus your age. If you enter a resting heart rate, the Karvonen method is used: each zone is a percentage of your heart-rate reserve (max minus resting) added back on top of resting. That fits fitter people better than a plain percentage of max.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I measure resting heart rate?

Count your pulse for a full minute right after waking, before getting out of bed, and average it over a few days.

Which zone burns the most fat?

Zone 2 uses a higher share of fat for fuel and can be sustained for long sessions, which is why endurance plans favour it.

Is 220 minus age accurate?

It is a population average and can be off by 10 or more beats for an individual. A supervised test gives a true maximum.
