1. Heart Rate Arrange – the Karvonen Formula
• Find your Resting Heart Rate (RHR)
• Find your Predicted Maximal Heart Rate (HR max)
• HR max = 220 – age
• Find your Heart Rate Hold (HRR)
• HRR = HR max – RHR
Find the lower limit of your Heart Rate Training Range
• Multiply your HRR by 50 percent and add your RHR
• HRR x .50 + RHR = Low Target Heart Rate
Find the upper limit of your Heart Rate Training Range
• Multiply your HRR by 85% and add your RHR
• HRR x .85 + RHR = High Target Heart Rate
2. Percent of Heart Rate Max
• Find your Predicted Maximum Heart Rate (HR max)
• HR max = 220 – age
Find the lower limit of your Heart Rate Training Range
• Low Target Heart Rate = HR max X .50
Find the upper limit of your Heart Rate Training Range
• High Target Heart Rate = HR max X .90
