Worked example

What this tool does not do / Limits

General estimates only, not medical advice. The 220-minus-age formula is a rough population average and can be well off for any individual; stop and seek medical advice if exercise causes pain, dizziness or breathlessness.

Frequently asked questions

What does Zone 2 feel like?

Easy aerobic effort: you can talk in full sentences but you are clearly working, not strolling.

Is 220 minus age exact?

No. It is a rough average, and individual maximums vary widely, so treat the range as a starting guide, not a prescription.
