2. EXERCISE
Target Heart Rarte Zones
The best way to achieve goals and see results is to exercise at the right intensity. Exercising in different
heart rate zones has different benefits. Alternating between different zones improves fitness and brings
variation to exercising. Heart rate zones are calculated as percentages of the maximum heart rate.
Heart rate zones for children (under 20-year-old):
