I want to calculate all my heart rate zones.
It seems there isn't a specific reference from Huberman Lab on calculating heart rate zones. However, I can provide a general method based on common practices:
-
Maximum Heart Rate (MHR): Subtract your age from 220. For a 20-year-old, this is about 200 beats per minute (bpm).
-
Heart Rate Zones:
- Zone 1 (50-60% of MHR): Light activity, good for recovery.
- Zone 2 (60-70% of MHR): Moderate activity, excellent for endurance training.
- Zone 3 (70-80% of MHR): Aerobic fitness, improves cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
- Zone 4 (80-90% of MHR): High-intensity, builds speed and fitness.
- Zone 5 (90-100% of MHR): Maximum effort, used for short bursts of speed.
It's advisable to check with a healthcare provider or a fitness professional to ensure these calculations suit your individual health needs.
