How do you find your target heart rate on a chart?

You can find your target heart rate as determined by your age on a chart provided by the American Heart Association. The target heart rate chart is available on the American Heart Association website.

For example, if you are 40 years old, the American Heart Association's chart indicates that your target heart rate is 90 - 153 beats per minute, and your average maximum heart rate is 180 beats per minute. If you have pre-existing heart health-related issues, you should speak to your doctor in greater detail to determine your target health rate, as recommended by the American Heart Association.
