    Honestly, I don't worry too much about my heart rate. I think it's really what you are comfortable with. The higher your heart rate, the harder it may be to sustain that level of exercise for a lengthy period of time. When I am doing cardio my heart is between 155-175 for the most part.

    My HRM recorded my highest at 187 and I'm 40... it didn't explode so I figure I'm good! Workout varies from 155-175ish normally.

    People are born with different max heart rates. You have to do a stress test to really determine it.
    You can measure your own resting rate and take the max from a chart for your age as an average.
