To make this part easy for you, this monitor automatically sets the correct target zone for you, after you enter in your age in the heart rate setup mode. The internal auto-setting is based on a generally accepted standard range of 65 to 85% of your Max HR (where mHR = 220- Age). There are many variations of formulas for calculating target zones. In most cases they will come up with a range very close to or the same as the auto-setting of this watch.
Warm Up & Cool Down, 55% or less -Start every exercise with a slow and gradual warm up and end with a slow and gradual cool down. Smoothly easing into and out of strenuous activity helps your body prepare your metabolism and blood flow to efficiently break down fat and change over from one intensity level to another. Going into your target zone too quickly can cause your heart rate to increase too rapidly causing you to loose your energy too soon, strain yourself or possibly worse.
