TARGET HEART RATE
Target Heart Rate is a percentage of your maximum heart rate. Target Heart Rate will vary for
each individual depending on age, current level of conditioning, and personal fitness goals.
Exercise heart rate should range from 55% to 85% of your maximum heart rate. As a point of
reference, we use the predicted maximum heart rate formula of (220 minus age) to determine
S70
your heart rate training zone. Please use the following chart to determine your predicted Target
Heart Rate.
EXAMPLE:
If you are a 30-year-old, your predicted maximum heart rate is 190 based on the (220 minus age)
formula.
220–30=190
Based on the chart above, your heart rate training zone is 104 to 161, which is 55%–85% of 190.
