based on your age your target heart rate would be between 82bpm and 114 bpm. this is based solely on your age. if you want to calculate this based on your fitness level you can use the karvonen formula: target heart rate = ((max hr - resting hr) × %intensity) + resting hr take your pulse at rest subtract this from max hr (220 minus your age) multiply this by. 60 and. 70 to get your target heart rate range.
im a 56 yearsold woman and wanted to know what my heart rate should be when riding a stationary bike at the gym. i been walking for a while on the road for about 1 hour. i have prehypertension and so i want to bring it down through exercise. my doctor nows about this by the way. i just want to know what a good health rate should be while i am exercising. i have a healthy heart and i want to keep it that way. thanks
