Target Heart Rate Calculator
Calculate your target heart rate for exercise using the Karvonen formula, which accounts for your resting heart rate.
Target Heart Rate
153 bpm
Target Heart Rate vs Age
Fórmula
## Karvonen Formula **Target HR = (Max HR - Resting HR) x Intensity% + Resting HR** The Karvonen formula is more accurate than simple percentage methods because it accounts for your resting heart rate (heart rate reserve). **Max HR = 220 - Age**
Ejemplo Resuelto
A 30-year-old with a resting HR of 65 bpm targeting 70% intensity.
- 01Max HR = 220 - 30 = 190 bpm
- 02HR Reserve = 190 - 65 = 125 bpm
- 03Target HR = 125 x 0.70 + 65 = 152.5 bpm
Preguntas Frecuentes
What is the Karvonen formula?
The Karvonen formula calculates target heart rate using heart rate reserve (the difference between max and resting HR), giving a more personalized target than simple percentage of max HR.
How do I measure resting heart rate?
Measure your pulse first thing in the morning before getting out of bed. Count beats for 60 seconds, or for 15 seconds and multiply by 4.
