This is a heart rate range a person needs to stay within in order to strengthen their cardiovascular (heart and lungs) system. The simplest way to determine your target heart rate zone is to find your maximum heart rate (207- (.7 X your age) and multiply that number by .6 for the low end and .85 for the high end. The Heart Rate Reserve method is more complicated, but more accurate, since it is based upon an individual’s resting heart rate.
