The Borg Scale of Perceived
Exertion Helps You Find
Your Target Heart Rate
This simple test relies on how hard
exercise feels in terms of heart and
lung exertion. “Very Light” corresponds
closely to 40 percent of maximum heart
rate, while “Extremely Hard” is close to
100 percent.
Strive for a “Somewhat Hard” level and
you’ll get close to your target heart
rate. You should always be able to carry
on a conversation while exercising. If
you can’t, reduce your intensity level
until you can!
Always ask your physician
what your target heart rate
range should be if you are
over the age of 65, have
heart related health problems
(heart attack, heart surgery,
angioplasty), or take heart or
blood pressure medications.
