Calculate target heart rate zones for training.
Target zone = (max heart rate − resting heart rate) × intensity + resting heart rate, using the Karvonen method.
With a max of 190 and resting of 60, a 60% intensity target is about 138 bpm.
It calculates target heart rate using your resting heart rate, giving personalized zones rather than a simple percentage of max.
Moderate training is often 50–70% of heart rate reserve; vigorous is 70–85%. Start lower if you are new to exercise.
No. Consult a provider before starting intense training, especially with health conditions.
