A method and apparatus utilizes conventional wireless heart rate monitor technology by providing a person with the ability to set upper and lower heart rates, i.e. a target zone, merely by inputting his or her age.

The user also has the capability to program a desired time accumulation goal within the target zone and to observe, both during and after the exercise period, how much time has accumulated inside the target zone.
