When you exercise, aim for a goal heart rate of 70 to 85 percent of your maximum heart rate (MHR). Your MHR when roughly, (as in estimated), calculated as 220 minus your age) is the upper limit of what your cardiovascular system (your heart), can handle during most physical activity.
These numbers are estimates that provide an average value. Many people have a higher or lower MHR, sometimes by as much as 15 to 20 beats per minute. Disagreement exists on how to most accurately estimate your MHR and what percentage range to target.
If you're looking for more than an estimate, consider discussing your target range with an exercise physiologist or personal trainer. ---Mayo Clinic
