My Lower/Upper/Max/Resting and Target HR

I've done some super fast working out (maths wise haha) and just wondering if this was correct to work out my Target HR using my upper, lower and resting HR. I want to get the best benifits out of my workout, I'm sticking to a diet and now need to do some workouts.
Facts: I'm a 19 year old male and my resting pulse is 91bpm (done by hand via carotid pulse check)
I know it's pretty high for my age and I'm currently under investigation with my GP about this, but that's another story haha.
Here is the maths side of it all:
My Resting HR = 91bpm
220 - 19 = 201bpm HRmax
201 - 91 = 110 HRmaxReserve
Lower Target HR Limit =
110 x 0.6 = 66
66 + 91 = 157
Lower Target HR Limit = 157bpm
Upper Target HR Limit =
110 x 0.8 = 88
88 + 91 = 176
Upper Target HR Limit = 179bpm
My Target HR =
157 + 179 = 336
336 / 2 = 168
My Target Heart Rate = 168 bpm
Does this seem correct for my variants I've provided in the facts?
Thanks! :-)
(ps any workout tips to reach this would be super, I need some inspiration/ideas!)
