Hot Yoga - Heart Rate/Calories Burned
TRAINING ZONES
Warm up Zone = 50 - 60% of your maximum heart rate based on age.
Fat Burning = 60 - 70% of your maximum heart rate, this zone burns more total fat calories the any other zone.
Aerobic Zone = 70 - 80% of your maximum heart rate, this improves your cardiovascular and respiratory system and increases the strength of your heart.
Anaerobic Zone = 80 - 90% of maximum heart rate. The benefits of this zone include an improved VO2 maximum (the highest amount of oxygen one can consume during exercise) and thus an improved cardiorespiratory system.
Red Line Zone = 90 - 100% of maximum heart rate, although this zone burns the highest number of calories, it is very intense. Most people can only stay in this zone for short periods.
Your max heart rate is the basic formula of 220(men) or 226(women) subtract your age. As an example, the max heart rate for a 32 year old would be 188 beats per minute (bpm). In the example below the average heart rate for the duration of the class is 140 bpm or 75% of the peak heart rate.
