Resting Heart Rate
The average resting heart rate ranges between 60 and 100. You should measure your resting heart rate prior to getting out of bed in the morning. Measuring at other times of the day does not yield the same results.
Maximum Heart Rate
The maximum heart rate for men is calculated using the formula 220 – age. For women we use the formula 206 – (0.88 * age).
Intensity
Intensity is your current heart rate expressed as a percentage of your heart rate range (max – rest). Intensity is calculated using the Karvonen Formula.
