Your Fitbit doesn't have a single "target heart rate." Instead, it provides personalized heart rate zones based on your age, fitness level, and personal goals. These zones help you understand how hard your body is working during exercise.
Here's how Fitbit calculates these zones:
- Fat Burn: This zone is for light activity and helps you burn fat.
- Cardio: This zone is for moderate activity and helps improve cardiovascular health.
- Peak: This zone is for intense activity and helps build endurance.
- Max: This zone is for maximum effort and should only be used for short bursts.
Fitbit uses these zones to:
- Track your progress: It helps you see how long you spend in each zone during workouts.
- Set goals: You can set goals for specific zones to challenge yourself and achieve your fitness objectives.
- Provide feedback: Fitbit gives you real-time feedback on your heart rate during exercise, allowing you to adjust your intensity as needed.
You can access your heart rate zones within the Fitbit app under your profile settings.
