Calculate your Heart Rate
In order to get the most out of your cardiovascular/aerobic exercise, it's important that you keep your heart rate in the proper zone. According to the Karvonen method, each person has two zones: one for maximal aerobic exercise and one for maximal fat burning. To get your zones, enter your age and approximate fitness level. As always, if you are just starting any exercise program, be sure to consult your physician first.
