Discover your Max Heart Rate (MHR) with our easy-to-use calculator. Understanding your MHR is crucial for optimizing workouts, setting target heart rate zones, and achieving your fitness goals safely and effectively. Simply enter your age to get an instant calculation.
Formula:
The calculator primarily uses the more accurate Tanaka, Monahan, & Seals formula (2001):
MHR = 208 - (0.7 × Age)
Where:
- MHR = Maximum Heart Rate (beats per minute)
- Age = Your age in years
For reference, the simpler Fox et al. (220 - Age) formula (1971) is also commonly used, though often less accurate for older individuals.
