HOW TO CALCULATE YOUR IDEAL TRAINING HEART RATE

Procedure:

1. Subtract your age from 220
2. Subtract your resting heart rate
3. Divide by 2
4. Add your resting heart rate

Example of a 60 year old with a resting heart rate of 65:

1. 220 - 60 =160
2. 160 - 65 = 95
3. 95 divide by 2 = 47.5
4. 47.5 + 65 = 112

This person's ideal aerobic set training heart rate is 112.

(Your resting heart rate is what you have when you wake up in the morning before activity.)
