Conditioning Guidelines FACTORS IN A SENSIBLE DIET 3 Your target heart rate (THR), is the rate at which you would like your heart to work during aerobic exercise. It is expressed as a percentage of your maximum heart rate (MHR). MHR is the maximum number of times that your heart can pump during one minute. To determine your approximate MHR, subtract your age (in years) from 220. This is only an estimation of your MHR—only clinical stress testing can provide an actual MHR reading.
