DETERMINING YOUR TARGET EXERCISE RATE
Each person has a pulse rate range (Target Zone) at which he or she gets
the most aerobic benefit. Exercising below that range will have little effect
in promoting fitness. Exercising at pulse rates above the Target Zone will
add a great deal of extra effort for very little extra improvement in fitness.
The optimal target pulse rate range is between 70% and 85% (note chart A)
of the maximal pulse rate an individual can reach at all-out effort. Your
approximate target pulse rate can be established with the formula shown
below. Remember that these values are for average individuals. For deter-
mining a more precise maximal pulse rate and target pulse rate zone, con-
tact your physician for an exercise stress test.

(220-your age)x60% (Conservative Target Heart Rate for the beginner)
Example:220 minus 40 years old=180x60%=108 Target Heart Rate
(220-year age)x70% (Intermediate Target Heart Rate)
(220-year age)x85% (Advanced Target Heart Rate for the well-conditioned
person)
Be sure to consult your physician before engaging in any vigorous exercise
and training,and obtain prior approval of the planned regimen.
