Gather your inputs
Have your age, resting heart rate ready. Accuracy on the output depends entirely on the quality of these numbers. If a value is uncertain, use the most realistic figure rather than rounding aggressively.
Enter the values
Fill each field in turn. Heart Rate Zones Calculator validates ranges as you type, so an obvious typo (for example a negative balance where one cannot exist) will flag immediately.
Read the result
The output is a zone 1 to 5 bpm ranges, computed using karvonen formula with hrr. Treat it as a precise answer to the question you posed, not an approximation.
Verify and compare
