Target Heart Rate Formula

Beginner: First, take 220 and subtract your age. Then, take the number calculated and multiply it by 60% (.60) and then 70% (.70). These two numbers give the range of your target heart rate.
Intermediate: 220-age X 70%,80%
Advanced: 220-age X 80%,90%

Example: 220-30=190. Multiplied by 80% you get 152, and multiplied by 90% you get 171. Therefore, this person's target heart rate for cardio is 152-171 heart beats per minute.
