Find your training heart-rate zones by age.

Max heart rate (bpm) 190
Fat-burn zone low (60%) (bpm) 114
Fat-burn zone high (70%) (bpm) 133
Cardio zone (85%) (bpm) 161.5

Formula: zone = max HR × intensity%

Step-by-step with your numbers:
1. Values used:
2. Age = 30 years
3.
4. Max heart rate = 190bpm
5. Fat-burn zone low (60%) = 114bpm
6. Fat-burn zone high (70%) = 133bpm
7. Cardio zone (85%) = 161.5bpm
Did we solve your problem today?

Training zones target different goals, from fat burning to peak cardio.

The math behind it

Max HR = 220 − age. Fat-burn ≈ 60–70%; aerobic ≈ 70–80%; high-intensity ≈ 80–90%.

Worked example

Age 30 → max 190; fat-burn 114–133 bpm.
