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.
Calculating Heart Rate. Your maximum possible heart rate is generally around 220 minus your age. So, for example, a 20-year-old's maximum heart rate would be around 200 beats per minute. The Cleveland Clinic recommends that, during exercise, your target heart rate should be 60 to 80 percent of your maximum heart rate. To calculate your target heart rate, deduct your age from 220.
