What is the normal heart rate for moderate to strenuous exercise?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
50-75% of max HR: Your maximum heart rate (hr) goes down with age and is generally figured by subtracting your age in years from 220. Your target hr for moderate to strenuous exercise is 50-75% of your maximum hr.

Determine goal then multiply that number by the percentage listed: maintain healthy heart 50% - 60% weight loss 60% - 70% aerobic increase endurance 70% - 80% conditioning muscle building, and athletic training 80% - 90% athletic training and endurance 90% - 100%.
