Have you ever wondered, "what is a good heart rate for my age"? This is a pretty common question many of us ask our doctor during checkups, but wouldn't it be nice to be able to keep tabs on it between those appointments on your own?
Now as a doctor myself, I'm certainly not suggesting doing away with routine health checkups, especially if there's any cause for concern. But, I also believe in giving you some basic information that will empower you to keep tabs on things like your heart rate on your own. It's much easier to stay healthy when you're aware of your body's signals.
That's why I put together this brief video to help you both determine what a good heart rate for your age is along with some strategies to measure and manage it. Again, this video is not meant to replace visits with your doctor, especially if you find yourself in a potentially dangerous range. That being said, it will give you some basics on how to better moderate your heart rate, and maybe catch a problem before it becomes more serious. Enjoy!

The rule of 220 minus age was originally invented for cardiac patients, to prevent them from over exerting their suspect hearts during light exercise. Doctors would typically take this rule, then subtract a percentage heart rate from it as a factor of safety, to not put patients at risk of further cardiac damage. In reality hearts are similar to other parts of humans, like arms or legs, they are different from person to person. I for instance am 64, therefore my max heart rate according to your rule should be 156, in reality it is 187 found from maximum stress testing, racing as fast as i can up a long hill and my resting heart rate has been as low as 36. When exercising at my aerobic threshold ( the intensity i can maintain for at least a few hours) my heart rate is 171 bpm , even that is well above your 220 rule figure. I have been a cycling time triallist all my life to quite a high level. For fit individuals, the 220 minus age rule is completely and utterly wrong.
👍
In my late 20s early 30s I was in extremely good fitness. My tested max heart rate was 164. It's really bizarre
Agree I am 59 and my max heart rate is 192.The 220 minus age has been shown to be widley inaccurate.
Totally agree. Similar to you. 65. Runner. Even at an easy pace heart rate is at around 150 and can run at that rate for hours. Pushing hard, 180. Resting 49-53.
I agree. Maximum of 220 is not accurate.
Mine is usually 56. I'm a 71 y/o female. I walk at least 5 miles a day, weights/resistance training daily moderately. I just started training jiu-jitsu.
Awesome my friend! Keep it up 🙌
Jiu-jitsu its Life
About the same as mine 😊
about the same (52 to 58 bpm) at 73 yr. male. Doing the same with resistance training and
a walking goal 10 to 15 k steps a day. We're doing something right.
Good job I am 75 and mine is always in that range - but I really disagree with his chart for max heart rate
Really great info, thanks for the charts. I've never really focused on my heart rate before but I'm gonna start keeping track of it now. I've only been steadily exercising for a few months so I'm excited to see the improvement as I continue.
This video was a much-needed video for everyone to see. It's something that we all need to take seriously and actively do on a daily basis to make sure we are healthy. Our heart is what keeps us alive.
About a month ago I was weighing about 230, my resting heart rate was 72-75 bpm depending on the day. Blood pressure was always elevated or pre hyper tension. I ate horrible, didnt exercise, drank way too much coffee and would only sleep 4-5 hours a night. I then changed my diet (not go on a diet) cut out all caffeine, only drink water, and have very well balanced healthy clean diet. Lean meats, veggies, fruits, grains etc. I supplement now. Do 20-30 mins cardio 5-6 days a week. I keep active even when at the office or home. Just started doing the Fit Father 24 min workout a few days ago. And now have a normal blood pressure, resting heart rate of 60 bpm, have lost 18 lbs, think clearer, sleep better and for longer, have more energy, and just overall feel better then I have in years! I am 39 by the way.

Thanks for the educational video Dr.
This has come in very useful to know, thanks for sharing!
Very good. Very informative and motivates me to increase my weekly workout regiment.
Thanks DR., LOVE YOUR CHANEL. .your tips are really very effective as i can think of. thanks for helping us, with your knowledge
I'm 51 and so was my resting heart rate today. I'm thirty pounds overweight, but I do walk many miles and occasionally jog between four or five miles on a weekend.
Very informative video this has helped me understand some important things.
thanks for talking about this topic so in depth. This is something I need to pay more attention to for sure
yes i agree! I've never given much thought to my heart rate and if it's normal. It's interesting that 50-100 is a normal range, and I'm going to measure it going forward. these videos are always so helpful!
@@nicolemartin467 Exactly. So informative video. I was suffering about this topic a long time

Prayer and meditation is also useful
@@parnamsaini4751amen ! God bless us all !
Yes to *HR bounce intervals* . I have done this in most all my workouts for years (weights, KB, calisthenics, sometimes running and cycling).
You set a *base HR* . For me now, on a basic barbell program, that is 70 for work sets, 90 for warm up sets. Whenever I finish a work set, I wait for HR to go back down to 70 to start the next work set. My HR goes into the 140s on my hard work sets.
If running on a track or doing KB swings, e.g., you can do *HR bounce pyramids* . Three wind sprints between 100 and 120, then three between 110 and 130, etc., to, say, three between 130 and 150, then back down. The pattern keeps it engaging, time goes by pretty fast, and it is very adjustable to all levels of fitness.
Great information about heart rate, i need to take it into consideration doing my workout from now on, thank !
Spent first 18 years at 7600 ft above sea level, and walked about 4 miles per day just round trip to school. Resting heart rate was 44 bpm, and spirometry revealed 120% lung capacity, when I graduated from high school.
💪
Love your motivational information, Dude. Gbu
Thank you! I appreciate your compliment 🙏
I think it's important to identify what a true resting heart rate is. My GP told me that unless I find time in the day to sit quietly and relaxed for 30 minutes or more (not on a full stomach) then the only true resting heart rate I'll be able to measure is within a couple of minutes of waking up in the morning. At that time mine is usually a few BPM either side of 60, but it's unlikely to get much under 70 for the rest of the day, usually between 70-80 and as high as 90 while 'resting' after a big evening meal. I think unless people know that, they could fall into the trap of thinking their resting HR is actually higher than they think.
Hey just wondering how old are you?
Yea my heart beats fast and hard after I eat a big meal
Thanks. I’ve wondered about this, it’s surprisingly hard to find a definition of “resting”.
The best thing to do is get a device that monitors your heart rate when you're asleep. That is the true resting situation. I have a sedentary job and once I tested my pulse at 5 am just waking up and it was 60 bpm. But after lunch whe I sit down it oscillates between 80 and 90. So yes, that cannot be ideal to test for pulse. I'm pretty sure if I start exercising, my sleep HR will fall to 55 or even 50. I'm 41 years old.
Sleep with a watch that measures your heart rate and it will tell you.
Thanks for another great video. I always learn so much . I'm very out of shape , so I'm sure my bpm is high . Watching this makes me want to start exercising and lower it .
Jerry taks baby steps..not like the show Biggest Loser. Gotta create a plan. Never feel the pressure to over train and workout. You will see your body resist the sudden effort. Start with walking, then walking on as slope etc then slow jogging. Never feel the pressure to run. Lot of people do this and they don't enjoy physical activity anymore. Best of luck.
Jerry you will survive...you will get by.
Thank you so much for this video brother this really helped me out a lot because I was always concerned about my heart rate when I run it’s at 1:55 between 165 and I was thinking is that bad but you said long as it’s between 150 and a little bit pass. It’s not bad, so now I got an idea of what it can be so I’m actually doing really well. Thank you again for this video.
Mine is 56 bpm at 65 years old according to my doctor and my blood pressure is 114/66. My doctor told me that if my rate remains the same in 6 months, he will take me off of bp meds. He told me to cut in half now from 10 mg to 5 mg. I started to do intermitted fasting with keto for the past 5 months.
That is amazing! Keep going strong 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Good for man! I'm 56 years old.
❤️ rate 47-189
Will be off BP meds soon myself ☺️
I need to starting working out with or follow whatever plan you on!
Why do you need BP med? I am almost 80 and exercise regularly. My bpm in in morning before anything is 52 and BP ranges 145/82 to 127/77. My aging challenges are nerves and arthritis of knees. Otherwise, count my Blessings.😁
Well I'm no longer on BP meds. My BP is really good now. @@Li-ty4ve
Just got an app to start tracking mine from now :) Thank you for the charts!!
Hi, which app you use to check heart rate during workout / rest?
The table at 2:44 doesn’t have much variation by age. Good goes from 62-65 to 63-66 to 64-67 then back to 62-65. A difference of 1-2 bpm isn’t very much. It’s also interesting that the numbers for 65+ are almost the same as 18-25. This table could probably be simplified to a single column.
At 73 my resting heartrate is between 48-55 per Apple Watch Series 8.
Active, walk between 10-12,000 steps per day. Gym 3-5 times a week.
My resting heart rate fluctuates between 60 - 80 which I believe is on the higher side. Must do more cardio and reduce weight. Thanks for the information.
Good video
Thank you for your good video clip.
You’re very welcome 🙏🏼
Thanks for this video and for keeping me motivated here in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. HIIT works! I used HIIT for years. My RHR 37--39 bpm In morning. My Lowest was this last May 1-2019 at 32 bpm as recorded first thing in morning before getting out of bed...... .... Hill climbing and power walking was key for me. Also I power walked for 5 miles including steep hills, ( hills will slow you down fast lol but legs push through it) takes 1 hour. Average pace 4.8 miles per hour . While Exercising Heart rate of 136 bpm At highest.... Im 61 years old now. I was told by a cardiologist after much testing to keep going as all tests were normal and heart is very healthy. Eating clean is also a must.
Blood flow restriction training will get you there faster.
Thank you so much for this video; I am going to forward this to my friends
Thank you!
You're very welcome 🙏
woww nice bro!!
just amazing....
Great! I'm 59 with a resting HR of 56, so I'm gonna keep walking and strength training!
💪
I started brisk walking five days a week, three miles. My resting heart rate at night went from 62 to 55. I’m 62, I’ve already watched my weight and exercised
Does ur resting heart rate dropped and how long it took
I've only done 3 weeks of HIIT training and my bpm is at 48. I used to vape a lot and basically slowly weaned by self off nicotine while exercising. I had a bit of a health scare when I was told by my nurses that the sharp pain I was feeling in my chest was due to an enlarged heart so this makes me feel better.
🙏
Best exercise for me is hill sprints, it's like combining sprinting and resistance training like weight lifting.
💪
A related chart:
Dub - 60 to 90 BPM
House - 115 to 130 BPM
Trance - 120 to 140 BPM
Yeah, I know my sh*t about music and dance.
My average resting heart rate is generally around 42. My present age is 53 years. When i was younger, my best resting heart rate was 38. Then i was fully into my bicycling. My heart rate is as it is, via genetics. My mother has a low heat rate also. Pity it does not slow the ageing process. 😉😉
Lol
It depends on how often you exercise, your age, and your health. it's happened that people are genetics. We're definitely learned something from this video. But, mine is around 72. As I age, my heart rate isn't that high.
lucky you
You're in great shape
You are special ;)
At 51 my range is in the high 40s to low 50s at rest and at the low 180s at maximum effort according to my polar watch and H10 chest strap. I do cardio (like running a 10K in under 1 hour, inline skating or cycling) at least 3 times a week every single week since mid February 2015. My motivation is that was the year that diabetes ended my father's life. Seeing him go through the amputations and dementia and was a serious motivation to me. I needed to change so that I never would be in that same situation as him.
Awesome my friend! Keep it up 😊
@@Fitfatherproject Thanks
You’re very welcome 🙏🏼
Just eat animal fat or butter and cut out veggie oil. Diabetes, stroke, heart attack, dementia are from unsaturated cooking oil, hydrogenated form is the worst. Just do everything opposite from the doctors, medical industry, Oprah, Dr. Oz, etc are telling you and you'll be fine until 100. Medical industry in this country is privatize US government has no control over them.
Very interesting
Thank you very much 👍🏼
I'm a huge fan of you and your videos, and you have become my most trusted source of info on lifting. But I strongly disagree on using the old 220 minus age to determine maximum heart rate. That formula has been widely discredited. I'm a highly fit 66 year old male with a lab tested maximum heart rate of 178 and a resting HR in the 38-40 range. My max HR by the formula would be 154, 24 bpm too low! That's below my lactate threshold, which I train at routinely. My cycling and run training is all HR based and using the max HR predicted by the formula would throw off all my training zones and undermine my training. Clearly not everyone is going to pay for and endure the discomfort of testing max HR on a treadmill in a lab, but there are better formulas out there. But other than this one small exception, I find the info in your videos to be exceptionally good, well researched, and very useful. Thanks for everything!
Necroposting but I'll throw out my data point. I'm 44 with a resting heart rate of 60-63. I strength train 3x/week and do running/cycling 1-3x/week. The formula predicts my maximum heart rate is 178. During my last run, I hit 203 and the last 15 minutes of my run were solidly above 178. Once I break into a walk or stop my heart rates drops right away.
On the Resting Heart Rate chart, there needs to be another row above 'Athlete' :-)
Age 59, resting heart rate averaging 46 over the past year.
If I don't exercise during a day, it won't rise over 100.
Normal limit is 175.
Wear a Garmin watch 24/7 and a cyclist (road, gravel, MTB).
I am 57 and very active swim, bike, run, walk, weights, core. My resting HR is 42-45. My max is 186. For the last 15 years my resting HR was 38-40 AND MY MAX HR consistently hit 186 every year. This past year I’m coming off a hamstring injury that has sidelined me a bit and decreased my fitness. My bike, run and swim is around 15% lower than usual. Strangely when I do intervals now with less fitness my HR gets high but my RPE is lower than the usual ratio. In other words let’s say I hit 170 BPM I normally rate that feeling 7-8. But now it feels like 6-7. I recently had an EKG and all looked good. I feel good working out, but my concern is why my RPE feels less at same HR during intervals and the power or pace is so much less
Thankyou👍👍👍👍
You’re very welcome 🙏🏼
At 70 my heartbeat was 40, oxygen 90. My doctor prescribed Levothyroxine and Midodrine. Four years later my heartbeat 44, oxygen 93. Always had very low blood pressure, still do.
Was thinking I needed to figure out what my resting heart rate should be, thanks for the tips
Resting normal pulse rate is 60 to 100 per minute
Great Stuff. I have had doctors tell me my heart rate is too low (was as low as 48 resting, now 54-56.). Not Me. I fall in the threshold that you have on the chart for an athlete.
🙌
wow.. really informative video.. great.. thanks
When I was younger and did a lot of demanding exercise my resting heart rate was mid 30s but I was certainly not an elite athlete. Now at 73 my resting heart rate is around 50. I exercise daily, including relatively light weights and cardio. A couple of years ago I had a spell of illness and ‘injuries‘, including a hip replacement, which reduced my exercise levels for a while and my resting heart rate increased to around 60 but dropped again as soon as I was able to step up my exercise levels. It has always been a source of curiosity to me and can only assume it it congenital.
Wow Graham, that's amazing! It's fantastic you have been able to keep such a low RHR, even through times of injury and lower periods of activity. 💪
l'am 14 now what my heart rate now
informative insights on appropriate various ages heart rate , relationship between heart rate and muscle oxygen consumption is quite helpful , great science backed share.
I came here because my heart rate was getting low while exercising. I was off from doing it for about 3 months since I had an inguinal hernia surgery. Finally, I started a very slow workout but I was feeling extremely exhausted and short of breath and I noticed that my heart rate was dropping to 70 -80 then when I stopped to catch up I noticed started to go up to about 137 which normally as soon as I started exercising my heartbeats started rising up to 120-156. Do you think that is something bad? I am 56 of age. Thank you so much for your videos.

thanks dear for sharing with us a great video. Really its have to know everyone about a good heart rate for him/her age.
my heart rate is good.😊😊😊
In my prime competitive years, my maximum heart rate was 164. I was in a very high level of health and conditioning. I never understood why it couldn't beat faster
I am male, slim, 60 years old and run and or cycle most days of the week. Just checked mine rested, 14 beats in 15 seconds x 4 = 56 bpm, well pleased
Awesome my friend! Keep it up 😊
This video about good heart rates was great! I learned a lot new things and definitely recommend checking it out.
Wow, this is a great video!
Ok, I definitely learned something here and now I feel the need to exercise my heart and lower the rate, but... I think I'm going to give the lungs another week to clean out after quitting smoking...again. I feel like it's gonna stick this time though :)
I hope it stuck, I quit 30 years ago and I'm so thankful and happy that I did.
How do you confirm if your low resting heart rate is where it should be and health vs if it's caused be an issue?
I am over 300 lbs, considered morbidly obese, for about 3-4 mths now I've been going to the gym using a seated elliptical machine for 30 minutes. I've gotten better with it and was able to add 30 minutes of treadmill at 2.7 mph and my resting heart rate has gone from the mid 60's/low 70's to mid 50's to mid 40's when laying down.
I'm 47 next month. My resting heart rate is 44bpm. It sits at around 55bpm when relaxing (like now). And often gets to 180bpm+ at maximum workout effort. So I'm not sure how useful your chart is, for me at least.
56 years old in best shape of my life.
Heart ❤️ rate range: 47-189
I work out and cycle.
Excellent 🙏🏼
Great stuff thank you! Really basic but SO important. So I'm 57, resting pulse between 56-62, Max would be 163 and I trail-run usually around 140 (~85%) but may shoot up or slip a little lower. I do this about three times a week for 50 minutes each...how does this sound?

I’m taking no credit here, but at age 62 my resting is as low as 45 typically it’s under 50. I don’t really exercise that much, but I walk a fair bit. 30 minutes at 6kph on a treadmill at 7.5% incline. It’s actually split into three parts, the machine stays the same speed, but starts at 5% for ten minutes (115 bpm), then 7.5% for ten (135 bpm) and finishes at 10% for last ten minutes (165 bpm). I do that about three times per week. I sauna afterwards and actually sauna most days (followed by cold 3-4 minute shower). I have been doing this for a couple of months, prior I have not really done anything, had desk job for 30 years, with last ten being intermittent hard physical.
Hi sir im 16 years old and i want to build some muscle cause in school they just walk on me just because im skinny,can u make a video on body building at home and without equipment? Cause i cant go to gym and i dont have any eqiupment,i dont want to be very muscular like the other..can u tell schedule a week?proper sets for full body,perfect times and so on and oh i talk too much haha sorry....btw love ur videos0
Backpacking on undulating trails is great
Hello Doc- in order to get a lower BPM say 55-65, do you recommend exercising every day (5-6 days)? I run at least 3-4 miles -say on Monday/ Tuesday only. I do get 60's number now and then but most of the time it's in 70-80 range. Also resting heart rate is considered when you sit down and no moving?
Hey William, thanks for writing in and great question! And I think you hit the nail on the head that daily exercise is wonderful to help lower RHR. However, it doesn't have to be super intense as some LISS-work can help in this department. Check out the video below for more info. And the best time to check your RHR is upon first waking in the morning as this will provide the most accurate measurement.

I am 34 years old I need to lose 80 pounds. My resting heart rate was around 90s. two months ago I started healthy life style. Going to the gym, jogging, walking. I lost the first 23 pounds. Now my heart rate on waking is between 58 to 62
Awesome my friend! Great progress, keep it up 🙏
I've only done 3 weeks of HIIT training and my bpm is at 48. I used to vape a lot and basically slowly weaned by self off nicotine while exercising. I had a bit of a health scare when I was told by my nurses that the sharp pain I was feeling in my chest was due to an enlarged heart so this makes me feel better.
Edit: He mentions HIIT Training with weights, if you don't already have strong muscles I recommend just doing bodyweight training.
I'm 67 years old. My HR averages about 50 BPM. My doctor thinks this is wonderful. She also thinks my low BP is great. 90/50 on average. I think this is too low. I'm fatigued most of the time. I walk every morning, and I'm a professional wind player. Also, my weight is pretty much ideal. BTW, my HR has been down in the low forties frequently. None of this would bother me if I could sleep well, digest my food well, and I wasn't so damned tired. I think the problem is minerals. I should add that I had thyroid cancer in 2015. Nothing has been the same since then. Tried keto, carnivore and in the past, vegetarian.
I’m 82 years old. I was a ultra runner until age 80. Since I’ve developed neuropathy in my feet and lower legs I’ve been forced to stop running and switch to long distance biking. When I was running my heart rate was around 38 bpm. Now that I’m biking full time my resting heart rate is around 40 bpm. According to all of the “ official “ charts my maximum heart rate should be around 130. When I do mountainous training it will sometimes get over 140 bpm. Am I putting myself into a dangerous situation? I feel fine when I reach these numbers. Thanks.
Hey Tom, thanks for writing in brother and great question! For those who are consistent exercisers, which sounds like you are, you can safely go above your MHR for shorter periods of time. However, if unsure or want to play it safe, please consult with your physician in case there are any underlying issues. But wow, talk about being an inspiration at 82 years young...amazing brother!

I do strength training intense workouts not that much cardio cause my job requires me to stay active. Lots of walking, amd i walk fast people always aske me if im in a hurry. Lots of lifting etc .. my RHR has always been at 70 to 85 but this past two months my RHR its in the higher 60's / lower 70's ever aince i loat 15 lbs. Now if im really relaxed it drops to 56. I was worry cause when you google stuff it literally tells you the worse. 😅
Heads up if going to the gym is tough: the exercise he suggests - interval training - is basically ice hockey. You take shifts, and play hard for 2-3 minutes, then rest. Bear shape of my life just playing the game, no other exercise.
👍
MV rất hay, i like it 💛💚😐
When i wake up i have a HR on 40 bpm during night even lower. Im 40 years and in good shape but surprised that the norm is around 60-70 bpm
Cool video. I wish people would take their health more seriously
Very true. I know that I should take it more seriously than I do.
