📖 How to Use
Simply enter your age. This tool uses the Tanaka Formula (208 - 0.7 × age) to predict your maximum heart rate. This is the upper limit of what your cardiovascular system can handle during physical activity.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is Max Heart Rate? +
MHR is the highest number of beats per minute (BPM) your heart can reach under maximum stress. It is a vital metric for setting exercise intensity.
Is the '220 - age' formula accurate? +
While popular, '220 - age' is often inaccurate for older adults. The Tanaka formula used here is scientifically proven to be more precise for all ages.
What is the "Fat Burn" zone? +
The fat-burning zone is typically 60% to 70% of your maximum heart rate. At this intensity, your body uses fat as its primary fuel source.
Should I train at my Max HR? +
Only competitive athletes usually train near 100% MHR. For general fitness, staying between 50% and 85% is safer and highly effective.
Does medication affect MHR? +
Yes, certain medications like beta-blockers can lower your heart rate. If you are on medication, consult a doctor for your specific limits.
