  The average resting heart rate is about 70 bpm. The lower the RHR, the fitter the individual. For instance Lance Armstrong has a RHR between 32-34!! The more cardiovascular exercises you do, the lower the RHR becomes. As you can see, your RHR play a role in calculating your THR zone. However, your calculations are NOT correct. You forgot to add your RHR back in at the end. So 60% should have been 143; 70% at 156, etc. Re-calculate these again and then break each one down to a 10 sec. count (by dividing the THR by 6). Next time you do any cardio, do a quick 10-second heart rate check at different times in your workout and see if you stay in your 60-80% AEROBIC zone. Remember to keep tracking your exercises and nutrition, too!
