Maximum Heart Rate Calculator
Target Heart Range. If you monitor your heart rate during exercise, you can keep track of how hard you're exercising. Your target heart range is the range of heartbeats per minute that is ideal for you during workouts. If you've been inactive or your goal is to stay in shape, you should have a target heart range with a lower value of 50% of your maximum heart rate and an upper value of 70% of your maximum heart rate. So if your maximum heart rate is 180, then your target heart range would be 90-126. For fitness improvement, use a target heart range of 70% to 90% of your maximum heart rate. There are several ways to determine your maximum heart rate. We use a calculated estimate based on age. Remember to consult a physician prior to starting any exercise program. Here's how to calculate your maximum heart rate:
Taking your pulse. To check if you are within your target zone, take your pulse during your workouts. If possible keep on moving as you gently press down on your pulse inside your wrist. Count the number of beats in 10 seconds and then multiply that number by 6 to calculate your target heart rate. Adjust your level of exertion to match your target heart rate.
