Target Heart Rate Calculator Your target heart rate is a useful way of pacing yourself when you exercise, to make sure your level of activity is not too high or too low. You can also use your target heart rate to evaluate your initial fitness level, and your progress over time. To do this, you'll need to measure your heart rate from time to time as you exercise. Click here to learn more about target heart rate and how it is calculated.
To find out your target heart rate using this handy calculator, click your age on the gear to the left and see what your current target heart rate is.
Note: this calculator is not intended for children or the very elderly
