A member asked:

What is a normal heart rate for a woman during moderate exercise?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends on age: Subtract your current age in years (36) from 220. First multiply the number you get by 0.6. This is your minimum target exercising heart rate. Now multiply the first number you got by 0.8. This is your maximum target heart rate. Stay inside that range when you exercise. 220-36=184; 184x0.6= 110; 84x0.8=147. Your "normal" heart rate for exercise is between those 2 numbers.

Had a Holter monitor that showed that my heart rate dropped to 39 at night, but Holter was shown as normal. I always thought a heart rate that low was bad. In good shape, but don't do much exercise. Heart rate is normal range during day. Any concern?
