What exercise intensity zone does a 200 target heart rate put you into? A heart rate of 200 bpm (or 33 beats every 10 seconds) during exercise is in excess of a typical adult's maximum heart rate and not recommended. A pulse of 200 is 105% of the maximum heart rate (HRmax) for a typical adult male. Consult the table below to check what workout zone a 200 pulse rate puts you in for your specific age and gender.
