This approach works well if you are using a [[Heart Rate Monitor]] that will display the times spent in each zone, but without transferring the details to a computer for more sophisticated analysis. However, there are some serious flaws in this technique. The most obvious is that a small change in heart rate could move from one zone to another, which could double the TRIMP<sup>zone</sup> score. The scaling factors are also linear, but moving from 50-60% HR<sub>max</sub> to 60-70% is far less than doubling the difficulty. By contrast, exercising at 100% rather than 90% is far harder than the 0.25 increase scaling factor would suggest. Finally, using %HRmax is inferior to using [[Heart Rate Reserve]].

The formula for calculating TRIMP<sup>exp</sup> is
