Target Heart Rate Calculator

Monitoring your heart rate can help you get the most out of your workout. If you work too hard, you may injure yourself or burn out. If you’re not working hard enough, you may not see the results you’re hoping for. 

Keep in mind this a rough estimate; more complex equations that calculate target heart rate take other variables — such as sex and age-related changes — into consideration.

Moderate to be 70 percent of your maximum effort

Vigorous to be 90 percent of your maximum effort
