Step Five
Heart Rate Training Zone
To achieve the maximum health benefits from your 
workout, it is important to know your heart rate 
training zone. Your training zone is your maximum 
upper and lower heart rate (beats per minute) during 
exercise. Calculate your upper and lower heart rate 
limit using this formula: 
Men: 220 – age = MHR 
Women: 230 – age = MHR
Multiply your MHR by the percentages of the selected 
training zone. There are three training zones that are 
related to your MHR:
Health Maintenance Zone (70% – 60%) — The 
lowest training intensity. For beginners and those 
who want to strengthen their cardiovascular 
system.
Aerobic Exercise Zone (80% – 70%) —  
Increases strength and endurance. It works 
within the body’s oxygen intake capability, burns 
more calories, and can be maintained over a 
longer period of time.
Anaerobic Exercise Zone (90% – 80%) — 
Generates speed and power. It works at or above 
the body’s oxygen intake capability and builds 
more muscle, but cannot be maintained over a 
long period of time.
For example, a 30-year old female who wants to 
determine her aerobic exercise zone would calculate 
it as follows:
230 – 30 = 200 (MHR)
200 x .80 = 160 (Upper limit)
200 x .60 = 120 (Lower limit)
