• When your heart rate over 200 beats per/min

How would you calculate your Resting Heart Rate (RHR)

• m = mc²

• 220 – Your Age = MHR

• count the beats for 10 seconds, then multiply it by 6.

How would you calculate your estimated Maximal Heart Rate (MHR)?

• m = mc²

• 220 – Your Age = MHR

• count the beats for 10 seconds, then multiply it by 6.

How would you calculate your various Target Heart Rate Zones?

• MHR X .65 = 65% of MHR

• 220 – Your Age = MHR

• count the beats for 10 seconds, then multiply it by 6.
