Isis asked in HealthDiet & Fitness · 1 decade ago

what does this whole 55%, 65%, and 90% of heart rate mean?

I am creating this fitness chart for the summer to help me lose weight for my career, and for my college classes. If you must know I am doing theater in college, aka dancing singing, acting, all at the same time. If anyone could help i would greatly appreciate it. thank you!!

    Those are based on your "Maximum Heart Rate." The simplest way to calculate your maxium heart rate is to subtract your age from 220.

    So, if you are 19 years old, your maximum heart rate would be 201.

    55% of 201 is 110

    65% of 201 is 130

    90% of 201 is 181
