How is the target heart rate zone calculated?

Target heart rate zones are calculated using maximum heart rate—the highest number of times your heart can safely beat in one minute. To keep things simple, Fitbit uses the common formula of 220 minus your age to estimate your maximum heart rate. So a 35-year-old would have a max heart rate of 185 (220-35=185).

As we say though, Fitbit’s trackers aren’t alone in this problem.
