Aerobic Exercise Intensity:

How to determine aerobic exercise intensity according to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM):

• Estimate the maximum heart rate (MHR) in beats per minute by calculating 220 – age.
• Determine resting heart rate (RHR) while counting pulse in beats per minute by feeling the radial artery of the wrist after lying down comfortable for more than 10 minutes.
• Take MHR and subtract resting heart rate (RHR) to calculate heart rate reserve (HRR). MHR – RHR = HRR.
• Calculate training intensity (TI) by multiplying HRR by desired training intensity generally between 40% and 85% and add back the RHR. TI = HRR x TI + RHR. Beginners need to start at a 40% to 50% intensity. Once advanced enough by progressive training, the optimum cardiovascular training zone per the ACSM is seen at 75% to 85% training intensity.
