Your target heart rate

For a good workout to burn fat when you exercise it is commonly stated that you need to keep your heart rate at around 60% - 80% of you maximum rate. The formula used to calculate this is:

220 - your age = maximum heart rate

220 - your age * 0.8 = top of the band

220 - your age * 0.6 = bottom of the band

Don't worry about the math - use our calculator below.

A target heart rate article written by Robert A. Robergs and Roberto Landwehr published in the Journal of Physiologyonline argues that this formula is too general and has no scientific merit.
