The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of  

exercising comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart rate monitors. 

With the proper use of a heart rate monitor, many people find that their usual choice of exercise intensity 

was either too high or too low and exercise is much more enjoyable by

maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range.

To determine the benefit range in which you wish to train, you must first determine your predicted  

Maximum Heart Rate. This can be accomplished by using the following formula: 220 minus your age. This 

will give you the predicted Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) for someone of your age. To determine the ef-

fective heart rate range for specific goals you simply calculate a percentage of your MHR. Your heart rate 

training zone is 50% to 90% of your maximum heart rate. Training at 60% of your maximum heart rate is 

recommended for burning fat, while training at 80% of your maximum heart rate is recommended for 

strengthening your cardiovascular system. 

For someone who is 40 years old their

predicted target heart rate zone is calculated:

220 – 40 = 180 (maximum heart rate)

180 x .6 = 108 beats per minute  

 

(60% of maximum)

180 X .8 = 144 beats per minute  

 

(80% of maximum)

So for a 40 year old the training zone would be 108 to 

144 beats per minute.

After calculating your MHR you can decide which 

goal you would like to pursue.

The two most popular reasons for exercise are car-

diovascular fitness (training for the heart and lungs) and weight control. The black columns on the chart 

above represent the MHR for a person whose age is listed at the bottom of each column. The training 

heart rate, for either cardiovascular fitness or weight loss, is represented by two lines that cut diagonally 

through the chart. A definition of the lines’ goal is in the bottom left-hand corner of the chart. Whether 

your goal is weight loss or cardiovascular fitness, it can be achieved by training between 60% and 80% of 

your MHR. Consult your physician before participating in any exercise program.
