Detailed explanation-1: -To estimate your maximum age-related heart rate, subtract your age from 220. For example, for a 50-year-old person, the estimated maximum age-related heart rate would be calculated as 220 – 50 years = 170 beats per minute (bpm).
Detailed explanation-2: -But how do you determine your maximum heart rate? For decades, the formula has been pretty simple: 220 minus your age = max heart rate.
Detailed explanation-3: -To determine the low limit (60 percent): Subtract your age from 220. This result is called your maximum heart rate.
Detailed explanation-4: -So, more than 200 beats per minute heart rate during exercise is dangerous for you. If you develop palpitations, an irregular heart rate, shortness of breath, or chest pain, you need to seek medical help right away. This could be a sign of an impending heart attack or other life-threatening heart problems.
