Straight from the American Heart Association page:
Your maximum heart rate is about 220 minus your age. The figures above are averages, so use them as general guidelines. Your target heart rate is between 50-75% of that number. So, for example, if you are 30, your target heart is 95-142 beats per minute.

on the average you can go up to 220-your age beats per minute during exercise the usual is up to 85 % of that value as an appropriate response to exertion.
If within the first 1 minte after exercise your heart rate drops by less than 10 beats then that will be abnormal.
Please consult your physician if questions about your heart especially if you are above 40 with a history of a sedentary lifestyle
