Hittinâ the Target. Now youâre ready to determine your target training heart rate. Take your pulse on the inside of your wrist, on the thumb side. Use the tips of your first two fingers (not your thumb) to press lightly over the blood vessels on your wrist. Count your pulse for 10 seconds and multiply by 6 to find your beats per minute. You want to stay between 50 percent to 85 percent of your maximum heart rate. This range is your target heart rate.
Target Heart Rate Your heart rate is one of the easiest measurements to take to determine your level of exertion during exercise. The American Heart Association recommends working in a safe target heart-rate zone between 50 and 85 percent of your maximum heart rate. An 18-year-old boy can find his maximum heart rate by subtracting his age from 220. This would put his maximum heart rate at 202 beats per minute, meaning he should exercise between 101 and 172 beats per minute. An 18-year-old girl can subtract 88 percent of her age from 206, putting her maximum heart rate at 190 beats per minute and her target heart-rate zone between 95 and 162 beats per minute.
