  • Heart Rate Reserve: This value is calculated by subtracting your resting heart rate from the maximum heart rate.
  • Heart Rate Zones: The calculator will display a range of heart rate zones, each with a specific purpose and intensity level:
    • Zone 1 (50-60%): Recovery
    • Zone 2 (60-70%): Endurance
    • Zone 3 (70-80%): Stamina
