Try This Heart Rate Calculator

Hi All!

I thought this my help. Some wonderful Cathe-ite posted this site a few years ago, and I will be forever grateful--Thank You!

This calculator uses a formula of 211-Age/2 for fit people, adjusted for your resting heart rate. Be sure to use the heart rate reserve column.

I've been using this formula for some time now, and it feels just right for me.

Hope this helps,

Carol Thanks for posting this.... seems much more accurate to me! I was always so worried that I couldnt break a sweat to be in target zone... I have a high RHR and always have so this makes much more sense for me. Thanks again

Thank you so much for posting this! I've been pooring over the internet the last few days because I was barely breathing hard in my target zone and couldn't imagine that was right. I've always had a high resting heart rate at well and this one made MUCH more sense to me.
