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.
Using your average heart rate during an exercise session, you can estimate the calories that you expend while working out. Your heart rate is directly related to your calorie expenditure rate. This calculation will be most accurate when your heart rate is between 90 and 150 beats per minute (bpm). The equation used to calculate calories burned also requires weight, gender and duration of the exercise session.
