Home A useful tool to track your plan your aerobic training is your maximum target heart rate. This rate is by no means the heart rate you should automatically shoot for when doing cardiovascular activities. Only individuals who are in excellent condition should train in this zone and check with your doctor before subjecting your body to this level of stress. To calculate your maximum heart rate you can use this general formula: Subtract your age from 220. So if you are 30 years old, your maximum heart rate is 190 beats per minute. A recommended and much more accurate way to determine your maximum heart rate is to enlist the services of a trained professional to perform a fitness test on you in order to determine a maximum heart rate for your fitness level and age.
