The two most popular reasons for, or goals, of exercise are cardiovascular tness (training for the
heart and lungs) and weight control. The black columns on the chart above represent the MHR
for a person whose age is listed at the bottom of each column. The training heart rate, for either
cardiovascular tness or weight loss, is represented by two different lines that cut diagonally
through the chart. A denition of the lines’ goal is in the bottom left-hand corner of the chart. If
your goal is cardiovascular tness or if it is weight loss, it can be achieved by training at 80% or 60%,
respectively, of your MHR on a schedule approved by your physician. Consult your physician before
participating in any exercise program.
