The target heart rate for moderate-intensity activity is between 64% and 76%1,2 of your maximum heart rate.
How to estimate the maximum heart rate?
Estimate our maximum heart rate based on our age. To estimate your maximum age-related heart rate, subtract your age from 220.
- Generally, to figure out whether you are exercising within the target heart rate zone, you must briefly stop exercising to take your pulse. You can take your pulse at your neck, wrist, or chest.
- We recommend the wrist. You can feel the radial pulse on the artery of the wrist in line with the thumb. Place the tips of the index and middle fingers over the artery and press lightly.
- Do not use the thumb. Take a full 60-second count of the heartbeats, or take for 30 seconds and multiply by 2.
- Start the count on a beat, which is counted as “zero.” For example, if this number falls between 109 and 129 bpm in the case of a 50-year-old person, he or she is active within the target range for moderate-intensity activity.
