Your target heart rate zone is typically calculated as a percentage of your maximum heart rate, which is generally estimated by subtracting your age from 220. Exercising within this zone, usually between 50% to 85% of your maximum heart rate, ensures you're working at an intensity that improves cardiovascular fitness and endurance. Staying within this range can help optimize fat burning and enhance overall performance while minimizing the risk of overexertion. It's essential to monitor your heart rate during exercise to ensure you're within your desired range for effective workouts.
Maximum heart rate
Your target heart rate range become smaller/decreases.
To calculate a target heart rate for exercise, first determine the maximum heart rate by subtracting the person's age from 220. For instance, a twenty year olds maximum heart rate is 220 minus 20, or 200. The target heart rate for moderate intensity exercise is 50-70% of the maximum. This is calculated by multiplying 200 by 0.50 and by 0.70. This gives you a target heart rate range of 100-140.

Target heart rate (THR) refers to the ideal heart rate range during exercise that helps maximize cardiovascular benefits while minimizing risks. It is typically calculated as a percentage of an individual's maximum heart rate, which can be estimated by subtracting their age from 220. For optimal aerobic benefits, the target heart rate is usually set between 50% to 85% of the maximum heart rate. Monitoring this rate helps ensure effective and safe workouts.
The recommended heart rate range for zones 4 and 5 during high-intensity exercise is typically between 80-90 of your maximum heart rate.
