Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find my resting heart rate?
Measure your heart rate first thing in the morning, before getting out of bed. Count your pulse for 60 seconds or use a fitness tracker. Take measurements over several days and average them for accuracy.
Should I always train in the same heart rate zone?
No! Variety is key to fitness improvement. Spend most of your time in zones 1-2 for aerobic base building, and include higher intensity work in zones 3-5 for performance gains. The 80/20 rule (80% easy, 20% hard) is a good guideline.
What if I can't reach the higher heart rate zones?
If you're new to exercise or have a low fitness level, focus on building your aerobic base in zones 1-2 first. As your fitness improves, you'll be able to work in higher zones. Always listen to your body and consult a healthcare provider if you have concerns.
