Multiply your age by 88% (0.88). Subtract that number from 206. Your target heart rate should be within 65 to 85 percent of that number.
So, here’s how it would work for a 40-year old person:
40 multiplied by 0.88=35.2
206-35.2=170.8
170.8 multiplied by 0.65= 111.02 (the low end of the target heart rate range)
170.8 multiplied by 0.85=145.18 (the upper end of the target heart rate range)
So a 40-year old’s target heart rate would be 111 to 145. Always check with your doctor before beginning an exercise regime.
