Heart rate training zones at age 75
At age 75, your estimated maximum heart rate is 145 bpm (220 − 75). Your five training zones below are percentages of that maximum.
Your five zones in beats per minute
| Zone | % of max | Beats/min | What it is for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zone 1 — Very light | 50–60% | 73–87 | Warm-up, recovery, easy movement |
| Zone 2 — Light | 60–70% | 87–102 | Fat-burning, building an aerobic base |
| Zone 3 — Moderate | 70–80% | 102–116 | Aerobic fitness, improving endurance |
| Zone 4 — Hard | 80–90% | 116–131 | Anaerobic threshold, faster and stronger |
| Zone 5 — Maximum | 90–100% | 131–145 | Short bursts only, peak effort |
Estimated from max HR = 220 − age. Individual max HR varies; a chest strap or a test gives a more personal figure. Not medical advice.

Frequently asked questions
What is my max heart rate at age 75?
Using the common 220 − age estimate, your maximum heart rate at 75 is about 145 beats per minute. It is an estimate — real max HR varies between individuals, and a proper test or a chest strap gives a more personal number.
What is the fat-burning heart rate for age 75?
The "fat-burning" zone (Zone 2, roughly 60–70% of max) is about 87–102 bpm at age 75. It is a comfortable, conversational effort you can sustain — good for building an aerobic base, though total calories still decide fat loss.
How accurate is 220 minus age?
It is a rough population average and can be off by 10–20 bpm for an individual. It is fine for setting ballpark zones; if you train seriously, a lab test or a field test gives a max HR tuned to you.
