You can use the Target Heart Rate Calculator to calculate your maximum and target heart rates. The Karvonen formula is considered to be one of the most precise methods to calculate target heart rate because it takes into account your resting heart rate.
Target heart rate (THR) calculation can be done for any age and activity level.
For best results from aerobic exercise it is recommended that you exercise within 55 to 85 percent of your maximum heart rate (MHR) for at least 20 to 30 minutes. MHR is the maximum limit that your heart can handle during physical activity. MHR is roughly calculated as 220 minus your age.
Knowing the Target Heart Rate allows you to get the most benefit from your workouts.
