Find your heart rate zones for different training goals using the Karvonen formula or simple percentage of max heart rate.

How it works

  1. Enter your age.
  2. Optionally enter your resting heart rate for the Karvonen method.
  3. Review the BPM ranges for each training zone.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Karvonen method?

It uses heart rate reserve (max − resting) for more personalized zones.

Is 220 − age accurate?

It is a rough estimate. A lab test or field test is more precise.

Which zone for weight loss?

The fat-burn zone (60–70%) is often recommended, but total calorie burn matters more.
