The most common way to calculate maximum heart rate (or MaxHR) is simply to subtract your age from 220. However, this is an inaccurate method. A more accurate method is determined by the following formula: 211 – (.64 x Age). Multiply your MaxHR by 0.85 - this is your maximum target rate. Multiply your MaxHR by 0.50 - this is your minimum target rate. Exercise within your target heart rate and stay there for 20 minutes or more. Working out at 60–70 percent of your MaxHR is best for weight management and a fit appearance; 70–80 percent puts you in the heart-healthy aerobic zone; and 80–100 percent gives you the competitive edge for peak performance. [2015] - Vonda Wright
