When walking, or doing any other type of physical activity, it is important to make sure you are within your target heart range. According to the American Heart Association, moderate activity, such as walking, should use 50-69% of your maximum heart rate. Your maximum heart rate is determined by your age. For example, someone who is 20 has an average maximum heart rate of 200 beats per minute, while someone who is 40 years old has an average maximum heart rate of 180 beats per minute. In order to identify the number for yourself, you will have to consider your target heart range based on your age group.

This depends solely on your health and how hard you're walking. The distance is irrelevant - your heart rate should come to a steady rate once you've been walking at a steady pace for about one minute. If I had to guess, most people's heart rates during walking range from 80-120 beats per minute.

Is 115 heart rate bad for a 41 year old woman?

A heart rate of 115 beats a minute is dangerous for a person of any age if you are referring to a regular heart rate. If we are speaking of heart rate during exercise (and excuse me if that is what was meant), then 115 is normal if it is intense exercise. During a minor activity such as walking however, your heart rate should not be over 80 beats per minute. If your heart rate does exceed 80 beats per minute in a minor activity such as mild-pace walking, then you should check with your Cardiologist.
