Your maximum heart rate is about 220 minus your age. The figures above are averages, so use them as general guidelines.

brutha, just type in "target heart rate" on any search engine and you'll get the answer....depending on your age and what you want to be your target heart rate to be ....if you want to do cardio at 65% or 80%, whatever.....it will tell you
