A moderate exercise heart rate is generally between 114 and 135 beats per minute (BPM). This range allows you to effectively workout without overexerting yourself.
During exercise, monitoring your heart rate can help ensure you're training at the appropriate intensity. Moderate intensity exercise has significant health benefits.
Target Heart Rate Zones
| Intensity Level | Heart Rate (BPM) |
|---|---|
| Moderate | 114-135 |
| Vigorous | 137-166 |
- Moderate Intensity: This level is ideal for building cardiovascular fitness and burning calories. Aim to keep your heart rate in this range during activities like brisk walking or cycling at a moderate pace.
- Vigorous Intensity: This higher intensity level further challenges your cardiovascular system.
These numbers are based on general guidelines. Consulting with a healthcare professional or certified trainer is recommended to determine the most appropriate heart rate zones for your individual fitness level and health status.
