Target Heart Rate will vary for each individual depending on age, current level of conditioning, and personal fitness goals.

As a point of reference, we use the predicted maximum heart rate formula of (220 minus age) to determine your heart rate training zone.
BALANCED FITNESS While cardiovascular exercise has been the primary method of fitness for many programs over the years, it should not be the only method. Strength Training and Flexibility Training have become more popular as exercise has developed.
