What is a target heart rate calculator?

A target heart rate calculator helps you find the ideal heart rate to aim for during exercise based on intensity.

How is target heart rate calculated?

It uses your estimated maximum heart rate (220 minus your age) and applies a percentage based on intensity.

Why is target heart rate important?

Training within the right heart rate range helps improve fitness, burn fat, and avoid overtraining.

Which intensity should you choose?

  • Lower intensity = light exercise and recovery
  • Moderate intensity = fat burning and general fitness
  • High intensity = cardio and performance
