What exercise intensity zone does a 191 target heart rate put you into? A heart rate of 191 bpm (or 32 beats every 10 seconds) during exercise is in excess of a typical adult's maximum heart rate and not recommended. A pulse of 191 is 101% of the maximum heart rate (HRmax) for a typical adult male. Consult the table below to check what workout zone a 191 pulse rate puts you in for your specific age and gender.
