Instructions
We use the Karvonen formula because it considers your individual resting heart rate, making it more accurate than standard age-based formulas.
How to find RHR?
The best time to measure is in the morning, immediately after waking up, before getting out of bed. Count your pulse for 60 seconds.
Why zones matter:
- Zone 2: Best for fat loss & endurance foundation.
- Zone 3: Improves aerobic capacity & heart health.
- Zone 4-5: For speed, power, and VO2 Max.
