Read the scenario.Samantha, a 30-year-old fitness enthusiast, is at the gym doing her regular workout. She wants to optimize her exercise routine to improve her cardiovascular health and endurance. Knowing that training in the correct heart rate zone is crucial for meeting her fitness goals, she decides to calculate her target heart rate (THR) zone. She understands that this will help her effectively train without overexerting herself.What is Samantha's THR zone?
Estimate maximum heart rate as 220 − age: 220 − 30 = 190 beats per minute. Using the common target zone of 50%–85% of maximum heart rate gives 0.50 × 190 = 95 and 0.85 × 190 = 161.5, or about 162 bpm. So Samantha’s target heart rate zone is 95–162 bpm.
