Heart Rate Calculator: Measure BPM, Find Target Zones & Maximize Workouts

Count beats, enter the seconds, add your age (and resting heart rate if you know it), pick an intensity level, and the tool returns your current BPM, maximum heart rate, target zone, and heart-rate reserve. Exercising at 60–80 % of your maximum heart rate improves cardiorespiratory fitness without undue strain (ACSM Guidelines, 2021).
