The Best Heart Rate Monitors for Exercise and Fitness

Wired  

All of the heart rate monitors tested here do a pretty impeccable job at tracking your heart, but what does all of the data actually mean, and what is it actually telling you? Heart rate zones If someone tells you they’ve been doing Zone 2 training for instance, they’ve been doing a heart rate zone-based workout time. Zones go from 1 to 5, with 5 indicating working at 90 to 100 percent of your maximum heart rate, so your maximum effort. Zone 2 represents training at 60 to 70 percent of maximum heart rate and represents light training. Knowing this information is useful for exercise to better understand when you’re training at your peak intensity and can be used to create heart rate zones.
