To ensure you are exercising at the right intensity relevant to your goal, you will need to get your 

heart rate between two thresholds. See table and graph:

Aerobic Base Building

Maximum Heart Rate (MHR)

Optimal Conditioning (85-90% of MHR)

Aerobic Base Building (75-85% of MHR)

Weight Management (60-75% of MHR)

Light Exercise (50-60% of MHR)
