New information found in the article link i have put on this page.
WOMEN HAVE NEW TARGET HEART RATE FORMULA!!!
206 minus 88 percent of woman’s age
The article explains how the old formula is not exact for women..
But my viewpoint on the whole target heart rate formula is that if you want to find your EXACT TARGET HEART RATE, have a stress test/bike test or treadmill test performed. These will not only give a more exact reading of your Max Heart Rate but will give you VO2 (cardio respiratory) max rates which can only help you in achieving a better/healthier/fitter lifestyle and give you more of a conscious reading on how hard you are really working out.
