The whole point in using different target heart rate zones is that when you train, each one of them has different effect on your physical form. It’s good for you if you take some time to find something more about the benefits from the workout according target heart rate zones..
The power of each zone should not be underestimated, because even though you may feel strange the first time when you finish one workout at 65% (beacuse you don’t feel pain and you don’t sweat too much),
don’t give up the challenge of training in this zone.
ZONE FOR BODY WEIGHT CONTROL (Fitness / Burning calories) - 60% to 70%
Great part from the benefits from this body workout according the heart frequency belong to the energy systems of the body, and one of this systems is responsible for long term supplying on the muscles with energy essential for their functioning.
Fats are rich source of energy needed for strong durability.
The workout in this target heart rate zone - means long and slow workout. (running, swimming, biking) –
and it teaches the body how to feed the muscles properly. Another big benefit of workout in this zone is fats burning.
Also, you will allow your muscles to gain glycogen energy that was used during the fast pace.
AEROBIC ZONE (Cardio workout / Durability) - 70% to 80%
When you train in this target heart rate zone, you train your cardiovascular system.
In this area is the body capability to transport oxygen. The workout of the muscles in this target heart rate zone allows the muscles to develop. After this workout you will feel fresher and stronger and the benefits will be fats burning and improving the aerobic capacity 75%.
This target heart rate zone is ideal for local muscle strength development.
ANAEROBIC ZONE (hardcore workout)
- 80% до 90%
This target heart rate zone can give lots of benefits.
Somewhere between 80 and 90% is your anaerobic limit.
In this target heart rate zone, use less fats, instead of using glycogen - which is found in your muscles - as main resource of energy. In this target heart rate zone there is a moment when the work of the muscles causes producing lactic acid faster than the body can remove it. When you reach this moment, famous as Anaerobic threshold, it will be followed with rapid heart rate and slow pace - sounds familiar?
With the right workout you can delay the Anaerobic threshold:
- Through increasing your heart rate, as high as you can or
- Through increasing the capability for your body to handle the lactic acid for longer period.
VO2 Max is the last zone ( Maximal effort) 90% to 100%
In this target heart rate zone you can keep for a very short period.

You should know that to develop this speed first you need to have developed ability to stand for the lactic acid for a longer period. This target heart rate zone is used in sprint races, where only the athletes can train in this target heart rate zone with effects.
Remember, the workout with high intensity, close to your heart rate can be dangerous for your health.
