or careless exercise. The key to a successful exercise program is
consistency.
Stay Within Your Target Heart Rate Zone For healthy beginners, start exercising two to four days a week
with your heart rate in the target zone for about twenty (20) min
utes each day.
Your approximate maximum heart rate (MHR) is equal to 220
minus your age. The upper limit of your target zone is equal to
0.85 times your MHR. The lower limit of your target zone is equal
to 0.60 times your MHR.
For example, if you are 40 years old, your approximate MHR
is equal to 180 (220 minus 40). Therefore, your target zone is
between 60% of 180 (0.60 x 180) = 108, and 85% of 180 (0.85
x 180) = 153. So for a 40 year old, the target heart rate zone is
between 108 and 153.
