Tip of the Month



Target Heart Rate


Everyone should know their Target Heart Rate
You can calculate as follows:

220 - your Age = your Max Heart Rate
You should not go above that rate while working out

220 - your Age x .65 = ------
220 - your Age x .85 = ------

These two numbers are the Zone for your Target Heart Rate. This is where you burn the most fat and your workout is most effective.
