The 220 minus age method has an error of +/- 11beats. The RPE that Shauna has described is much better way of estimating your workout intensity. Yes exactly Kris.

It makes much more sense than the heart rate formula which can be very limiting for each individual. For example, I am 44 years old so according to the heart rate formula my maximum heart rate should be 176 bpm, however I often train at 180 bpm and above. That kinda blows the formula out of the water! Great post thanks! I like the perceived exertion chart.
