During my exercises (turbofire) my normal HR is around 155-170 depending on what I am doing when I "REALLY" go all out (fire drills on Turbofire) I can get it to 180's Would you count that as a good Heartrate for my HIIT training (Turbofire) or do I need to try my dangest to push it more?

Thank you all in advance

    I do TurboFire as well and that's been about my average. I dunno whether or not it should be higher but it's working for me so far :)

    Everybody's HR is different. Some ppl have low HRs, some ppl have high HRs, but they may be working @ the same intensity. For ex: Back when I swam my resting HR was 44bmp, so when I was working out it was hard to get it up really high. I would be working just as hard as everybody else, often harder, but my HR was usually lower than everybody else's.

    You want to stay below your max heart rate. You can however go as far as 90% of you max. To get you max heart rate, use this formula


    220 - Your Age = Max Heart Rate

    So lets say your age is 22.

    220 - 22 = 198 BPM

    90% of 198 BPM = 179 BPM

    Being a recent open heart patient this is the information I gained in all the recovery classes.

    THANK YOU and I hope you are recovering well!

    I tend to have a higher heart rate (and lower blood pressure??) than most. On an average intensity run (hell, even a slow run!) and during spin class my HR is about 85% max. Even if I work out consistently for months, it's always high.

    I think this is the beginning guidline, but it is different the more fit you get. When I was on a cycling team, I found the more fit you were, the lower your resting HR, the higher your Maximum HR was. But thank you for posting the formula as a place to start.
