================================================== ===
The ideal heart rate (in general) is calculated like this:
- 220 minus your age times 75-85%
- maintain this heart rate for at least 30-minutes

Example:
- 220 minus 35-yrs-old = 185 times 75% (139bpm) to 85% (157bpm)
- around 145bpm (only if you are healthy)

A good test to see how fit you are is your heart's recovery rate.
After going 30-minutes at 75-85% target zone, how fast does your heart rate drops while doing a cool down? My heart rate drops over 30bpm during the 3-minute cool down.
