Target Heart Rate Zone Chart:

The Target Heart Rate Zone indicates how many times per minute your heart needs to beat for a desired workout effect. It is represented as a percentage of your maximum heart rate. Your Target Zone varies based on age, conditioning level, and fitness goals. The American Heart Association recommends working out between 60% and 75% of your maximum heart rate. Beginners should aim for the 60% range, while more experienced exercisers may aim for 70-75%.

Example: For a 42-year-old user (round to 40), 60% of maximum heart rate is 108 BPM, and 75% is 135 BPM.
