| Calculating Your Target Heart Rate |
| Directions: Complete the following steps to determine your target heart rate range while you exercise. (You do not have to turn this page in.) |
| Step 1: Use the following formula to determine your maximum heart rate: 220 - age = maximum heart rate |
| Step 2: Determine your target heart rate at 60% of maximum: predicted maximum heart rate x .80 = 80% of maximum heart rate. |
| Step 3: Determine your target heart rate at 90% of maximum: predicted maximum heart rate x .90 = 90% of maximum heart rate. |
| Step 4: Write your exercise heart rate range: My exercise heart rate should be no less than _________ beats per minute and no more than _________ beats per minute while I exercise in order to achieve the proper intensity for cardio-respiratory fitness. |
