1. Get Resting Heart rate
2. Subtract you age from 220
3. Subtract resting heart rate from #2 above
4. Multiply results of #3 above by .6 (60%) and .8 (80%)
5. Add Resting heart rate to both results of #4. This is your target heart rate range.

  • RHR: 52

    220 - 18 = 202

    202-52 = 150

    90 and 120

    90 + 52 and 120 + 52 = 142 and 172

    :) Thats what I usually aim for. Thanks for confirmation!

  • i have a question if i wanna lose wight what happen if i exceed the 70% of my maximun heart rate, will i burn fat or do i burn muscle, i hope you answer me, thanks???

  • @denisenjavi same here :)

  • you have got to stop repeating yourself. It's killing me.

    By the way, the first time you calculate your lower target heartrate you say multiply by "point zero six" (.06) that's 6% not 60%. When you repeat yourself (yuck) you use the right number.

  • fix your sound!!!!!!!!

  • yea thanks maybe i'll dig out the p90x dvd's i bought again...

  • It also helps if you take it on a morning your alarm clock isn't waking you up. The startle from the alarm makes your heart speed up.

  • Thanks so much I needed this Video..I'm gonna Have to get my resting heart Rate Then I'm gonna have to come back to watch the video again..
