Cardio

Heart Rate Zone Calculator

Estimate training zones from age so you can better separate easy recovery work, steady conditioning, tempo sessions, and harder interval efforts.

Map your cardio zones

Estimate your max heart rate from age and use the output ranges for easier steady-state, tempo, and interval planning.

Typical use by zone

Zone 1 to 2

Recovery work, warm-ups, cool-downs, long easy cardio.

Zone 3

Steady conditioning or tempo work when you want sustainable effort.

Zone 4

Hard intervals, threshold sessions, and short conditioning blocks.

Zone 5

Very hard repeat efforts and short bursts, not extended sessions.

Why this tool helps

Heart rate zones are a practical way to manage cardio intensity. They help keep easy days easy and make interval work easier to structure.

Best use cases

Zone-based treadmill or bike sessions

Steady-state cardio planning

Interval and conditioning sessions

How to use it

Step 1

Enter your age.

Step 2

Review the estimated max heart rate.

Step 3

Use the zone table to match the workout type to the right range.

Planning note

Use the result as a starting number, not a final prescription. Real-world adjustments still depend on performance, recovery, appetite, schedule, and consistency over time.
