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.
The simplest way to compute your target heart rate is to subtract your age from 220âthatâs your maximum heart rateâand then calculate 60 and 80 percent of that number. For example, if you are 50, your maximum heart rate is 220 minus 50, or 170. Then multiply 170 by 0.6 (for the low end) and by 0.8 (for the high end), which gives a range of 102 to 136. Your heart rate should fall between these two numbers while you exercise.
