    Target heart rate
    I'm a 60 year-old female. When I exercise, I always seem to surpass my target heart rate. If I watch and stay under it, it feels like I'm not really getting a work-out. Can that rate be considered a minimum? My exercise is usually a treadmill or various nautilus machines.

    Target heart rates will vary significantly based on one's age, health, weight and other factors. Please consult your family physician for his recommendations.

    Age x .65 = BPM (target heart range)

    Always talk to a doc first.

    If you surpass it, how? Is it the machine estimating it, or is it a measurement of your actual rate?

    Also, if you are going to a gym, don't neglect eliptical machines...

    In my opinion, they can offer a better workout with less stress... more bang for the buck.
