The USDA Food Pyramid recommends 60 minutes of daily physical activity for kids. The most effective way for students to reach their fitness goals and stay healthy is to exercise in their target heart rate zones.

There is a target zone that's right for each day's workout. For example, to improve aerobic fitness and maintain health, students need to be working at 70-80% of their maxHR. There are 3 key target zones that help students achieve specific goals.

60-70% Lose Weight or Recover
70-80% Improve Aerobic Fitness & Maintain Health
80+ % Increase Athletic Performance

To calculate the 3 target zones for your students we use a formula that factors in age.
