target heart rate
Optimal workout pulse
Target heart rate is the pulse range you aim for during exercise to maximize cardiovascular benefit without overexertion.
Typically calculated as a percentage of your maximum heart rate, it varies by age and fitness goals: Stay in your target heart rate zone for at least twenty minutes.
Fitness trackers and gym equipment often display it alongside current heart rate.
