    FAQs

    What is Zone 2 and how do I find it?

    Zone 2 is a low-to-moderate aerobic intensity, roughly 60 to 70% of your maximum heart rate, where you can hold a full conversation but not sing. This calculator estimates your zones from your age, and more precisely if you add your resting heart rate.

    How accurate is a heart-rate zone formula?

    Formulas give a good starting estimate, but true maximum heart rate varies between people, especially on heart medication. Use these ranges as a guide alongside the talk test, and get them set precisely in a coached assessment.

    Get measured properly, then coached.
