To calculate your MHR( maximum heart rate) subtract your age from 220. To find 65% of your MHR, multiply your MHR by 0.65. To find 75% of your MHR, multiply your MHR by 0.75. i.e. If you are 40 years old your MHR is 180. 65% of your MHR is 117 beats per minute (BPM). 75% of MHR is 135 BPM:

220 – 40 = 180 BPM

180 x 0.65 = 117 BPM (65% MHR)

180 x 0.75 = 135 BPM (75% MHR)
