Directions: Please use the following information to complete this assignment:
1. Beginners may use a calculator.
2. The person is 41 years old.
3. Their resting heart rate is 77 bpm (RHR).
4. Match the following percentages (%) with the corresponding benefits of exercise:

A. 50%-60%

LOWER LIMIT
UPPER LIMIT

1. Determine the maximum heart rate according to the given age.
(220-age=max heart rate)"MHR".

      220

=   = 
2. Determine the resting heart rate. (Take pulse for six seconds then add a zero- prior to any exercise). SUBTRACT RHR from MHR. -    -   
=   =  
3. Multiply the percentage for the given limit with the answers on
Line A. (Lower Limit=60% or 0.60; Upper Limit=90% or 0.90).		 X  X 
=  = 
4. Add the original RHR figure back into the equation.
Then place the answer on Line B.		 +  + 
5. Answer goes on Line B. =  = 
6. ROUND the answers from Line B.
a. Round the numbers UP if the number
after the decimal point is 5 or greater.
i.e. 124.7=125
b. Round the numbers DOWN if the number
after the decimal point is 4 or lower.
i.e. 178.2=178
