Heart Rate Calculator

All you need to do is enter your age. That's it!

The calculator will provide both your Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) and 60% of your MHR.

You will see MHR in much of the information in this site for a very good reason. You NEED this information! Your heart rate is like a clock on the wall for you to see the time. Knowing how fast your heart is beating will let you know you either need to slow down, or if you can continue with confidence at your current rate.

Your body will only burn fat if your activity does not raise your heart rate over that 60%. This is why you find so much about your heart rate in this site. It's something most people ignore. Yet, your heart rate is the single most important part of your exercise routine.

Condition your heart so that it always beats slow, until you are doing something that is extremely taxing on your body. A very strong heart promotes a longer and more enjoyable life.
