If my resting heart rate is 60 and my max heart rate is 206 calculate my target heart rate range

Question

-target heart rate zone during a good cardio workout is 60% to 85% of your max HR
-find your target HR zone for the low end and high end of your max HR
Target HR equals Max hr x %

1. Target HR 60%=
2. Target HR 85%=

Answer 1

To calculate your target heart rate range for cardio workouts, you can use the following formula:

Target HR = Max HR × Percentage

Given:

• Max HR = 206 beats per minute (bpm)

1. Target HR at 60%

\[ \text{Target HR at 60%} = \text{Max HR} \times 0.60 = 206 \text{ bpm} \times 0.60 = 123.6 \text{ bpm} \]

2. Target HR at 85%

\[ \text{Target HR at 85%} = \text{Max HR} \times 0.85 = 206 \text{ bpm} \times 0.85 = 175.1 \text{ bpm} \]

Summary:

• Target HR at 60%: 123.6 bpm (rounded to 124 bpm)
• Target HR at 85%: 175.1 bpm (rounded to 175 bpm)

So, your target heart rate zone during a good cardio workout is approximately 124 bpm to 175 bpm.
