❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is Max Heart Rate? +
Max Heart Rate is the highest number of beats per minute your heart can reach under maximum stress. It varies primarily based on age.
Why is the Tanaka formula used? +
While the old formula (220 - age) is popular, the Tanaka formula (208 - 0.7 x age) is scientifically proven to be more accurate for adults of all fitness levels.
What are heart rate zones? +
Zones are percentages of your Max HR. For example, the "Fat Burn Zone" is typically 60-70% of your maximum heart rate.
Should I always hit my Max HR? +
No, it is recommended to work out at 50-85% of your Max HR. Only competitive athletes usually train near 100%.
Does fitness level change Max HR? +
Actually, Max HR is mostly determined by age and genetics. However, fitness improves how efficiently your heart works at those rates.
