My heart rate hit 200 during a hard workout, is this bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The "target" heart rate during exercise is different for people of different ages. Although the typical maximal age-predicted heart rate for a 40 year-old would be around 180, a vigorous workout could produce heart rates of 200 beats per minute without being abnormal for you.
