Step 2. Start with 220 and subtract your age from it to get an estimate of your maximum heart rate. For example, if you are 25, your maximum heart rate would be 195. Multiply the result by the target heart rate percentage you determined earlier. If you are aiming for 70 percent, you would multiply 195 by 0.7 to get 136.5. If you are aiming for 50 percent, you would multiply 195 by 0.5 to get 97.5. The complete formula is: (220 - Your Age) x Target Heart Rate Percentage = Target Heart Rate.
Hittinâ the Target. Now youâre ready to determine your target training heart rate. Take your pulse on the inside of your wrist, on the thumb side. Use the tips of your first two fingers (not your thumb) to press lightly over the blood vessels on your wrist. Count your pulse for 10 seconds and multiply by 6 to find your beats per minute. You want to stay between 50 percent to 85 percent of your maximum heart rate. This range is your target heart rate.
