A member asked:
What is acceptable range of heart rate while walking and while doing cardio exercises?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: You can calculate your statistical maximum heart rate by subtracting your age from 220. An acceptable heart target heart range for most people would be 70-80% of your calculated maximum. Your particular range may be different based on medications you are taking, medical issues you may have, and your overall level of conditioning.
