Frequently asked questions

What is the Karvonen method?+
It sets zones as a percentage of your heart-rate reserve (max minus resting), then adds your resting rate back — a more personalised range than a plain percentage of max.
Is 220 − age exact?+
It is a common estimate of maximum heart rate, but individuals vary by roughly ±10–12 bpm.
