Aerobic Training Zone

5 Comments 15 January 2009

Exercising at an intensity within your aerobic training zone is vital in order to increase your aerobic capacity. Depending on how physically fit you are, the lower and upper limits of your aerobic training zone are approximately 55% to 85% of your Maximal Heart Rate ( the highest heart rate of which an individual is capable).      Your MHR = 220bpm (beats per minute) – your age

I am 26 years old so my Maximal Heart Rate is 220 – 26 = 194

55% of my MHR is 106,7 beats per minute ; 85% of my MHR is 164,9bpm.

There are devices that can measure your heart rate for you – many of these can be worn like a wrist watch. Keeping your heart rates within these training zones will ensure that you are getting the maximum benefits from fat burning to cardiovascular health to improved recovery abilities after your workouts.

    Hi Zuzana
    I find your site awesome and thank you that you just like the part with us. I train traveled through various types of training since January. And even before that I have made sports twice a week. Weight training, bag fight, Thai Bo, endurance training and with your page for some time. Now I have two problems.

    One is in the calculation of the MHR. According to test my Maximum Heart Rate 190 and I am 29 years old. That means 55% and 85% 136.85 88.55 bpm.
    You, therefore, is 88-136 bpm workout. That is hardly possible for me to keep the heart rate so low not even a walk, I can keep him so deeply. And in the training such as Thai Bo and Bag Fight the pulse is much higher. As with your workouts. Can you give me a hint?

    The other problem is that I weigh 10 kg too much. I’m within 3 / 4 year from poor diet increased the 10 kg, but decreased since January is not a kilo. Despite intensive and regular training and changeover of the diet. For two weeks I eat only vegetables and fruits for my acid base balance to bring into balance, and take off, but again there has as yet done nothing. Blood tests I made, everything is in Order. Doctors and fitness trainer does not know why and I do not go on.
    Maybe you can give me a hint what I could try.
    I hope you read my message and sorry I wrote so much. I hope you do not you my nerves. I would have gladly gschriebeb a mail but I have not seen any mail address.
    Greetings from Switzerland
    Manuela
