The American College of Sports medicine has a formula to figure maximum heart rate.
Start by subtracting your age from 220.
Then multiply that number by point six AND point nine to get the range of the heart rate training zone.
For example, a 35 year old has a maximum heart rate of 185 beats per minute.
That person can have an effective cardiovascular workout in the upper limit of the zone at 167 beats per minute and can workout for longer periods of time to burn more fat at the lower limit of 111 beats per minute.
