: Is it possible to build muscles in the target heartzone?

The target HR zone is a useful guide for aerobic training.  If you're
interested in "building muscle" in the strength training sense, you need
to be lifting heavier weights for a relatively few number of repetitions
till you fatigue (i.e., 8-12 repetitions till fatigue).

: And are there any biometric like exercises to do this, i.e. without using
: any expensive equipment?

Calisthenic exercises using bodyweight like push-ups, chin-ups, squats,
and lunges are a great start.  As they get too easy you can add dumbbells
and barbells for relatively little money.
