Measuring Physical Activity Intensity
Maximum Heart Rate (MHR)
220 – age = estimated MHR
Target Heart Rate
MHR x .60 = Minimum Heart Rate
MHR x .80 = Maximum Heart Rate
24. The Healthy Weigh!
Session 3
Example: Target Heart Rate of a 50 year old
Maximum Heart Rate
220 – age = estimated MHR
220 – 50 = 170 MHR
Target Heart Rate
170 x .60 = 102 (low)
170 x .80 = 136 (high)
Range is 102 – 136 (60 – 80%)
