Calculate your MHR and Zone 1 (65% to 75%): Here is an example for a 45-‐year old. 220 -‐ your age= MHR
220 -‐ 45 = 175 MHR
MHR x .65= Zone 1 low end beats per min (BPM)
175 x .65 = 114 BPM
MHR x .75= Zone 1 high end beats per min (BPM)
175 x .75 = 131 BPM
Take pulse on neck or wrist for Heart rate needs to be between 114 -‐ 131 to be 10 seconds x 6 = BPM in Zone 1 and over 131 BPM to move into Zone 2.
