Target Heart Rate 

Enter your age and resting heart rate, then click on Calculate and your training heart rate will be calculated for you:

Age:
Resting Heart Rate:
(take a 15 second count in the morning and multiply the number by 4)

 

How this all works:

1. Resting Heart Rate (RHR) = your pulse at rest (the best time to get a true resting heart rate is first thing in the morning before you get out of bed).

2. Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) = 220- your age

3. Heart Rate Reserve (HRR)= Maximum Heart Rate - Resting Heart Rate

Once you have your Heart Rate Reserve, you can calculate your training heart rate:

4. (Heart Rate Reserve*.85) + Resting Heart Rate = Upper end of the training zone

5. (Heart Rate Reserve *.50) + Resting Heart Rate = Lower end of the training zone
