Heart Rate Activity Worksheet
Part I- Calculate your Heartrate Zones using both formulas:
Use the Maximum Heartrate Formula to get the HR zones:
Calculate your Resting Heart Rate (RHR) ___64______
Find your pulse rate at rest- count the beats for 30 seconds, then double that number.
Calculate your estimated Maximal Heart Rate (MHR) ____205_____
 (220 – Your Age = MHR)
Calculate your Target Heart Rate Zone (THRZ) 65% _____ and 80% _____ of your MHR.
 (MHR X .65 = 65% of MHR) and (MHR X .80 = 80% of MHR
Part II- Perform the following activities and write down your heartrate
response:
Perform each activity. Take your heart rate at the end of each activity. Use your
carotid or radial artery and count the beats for 6 seconds. Add 0 to the number
that you count.
