My name is _________ from the Minnesota Institute of Public Health. I am working with the MN Departments of Human Services, Health, Education and Public Safety, in an effort to understand the needs of prevention professionals throughout the state.
People who are 30 years old and have an exercise heart rate of 138 heartbeats per minute, the average good rate for someone their age, have a good post-exercise heart rate when itâs 98 to 108 heartbeats per minute one minute after exercise.
A normal resting heart rate should be between 60 and 100 beats per minute. A rate of more than 90 is, however, considered high. 1  The resting heart rate of well trained endurance athletes can be between 40 and 60 beats per minute. 2  Test your rate over a few days to get an average. One basic method is just subtract your age from 220. 2  So if you are 30, your maximum heart rate will be approximately 190 beats per minute. 3  This method is considered more accurate for those under 40. 4  A slightly more complicated recent method is to multiply your age by 0.7, and then subtract that figure from 208.
