Target Heart Rate Calculator

Your target heart rate is the range that is considered safe for you to work your heart when you do aerobic exercise. Your target heart rate is a percentage of what your maximum heart rate should be. It depends on how hard you exercise. Moderate intensity aerobic exercise includes activities such as walking fast, yard work, or doing water aerobics. Vigorous intensity aerobic exercise includes activities such as running, cycling, and swimming laps. This calculator uses your age to figure out your target heart rate for your intensity of exercise.
