Target Heart Rate Calculator

Find your optimal heart rate zone for exercise. Uses the Karvonen formula for more accurate results based on your resting heart rate.

Karvonen Formula

THR = ((Max HR - Resting HR) × Intensity%) + Resting HR

This accounts for your fitness level via resting HR. Lower resting HR = more fit = higher training zones.
