Your Target Pulse Rate: Did you know?
Exercise should increase your heartbeat to at least 50 percent of your maximum rate to provide a benefit for your heart and lungs. The heartbeat rate that will safely provide the greatest benefit is between 60 and 80 percent of your maximum rate. This is your target pulse rate (also known as target heart rate). Determine your maximum heartbeat rate by subtracting your age from the number 220. Multiply your maximum heartbeat rate by 60 percent and then by 80 percent.
