What exercise intensity zone does a 147 target heart rate put you into? Working out to a pulse of 147 bpm (or 24 beats every 10 seconds) typically puts adults in the moderate anaerobic zone and is beneficial for improving general fitness. A pulse of 147 is 77% of the maximum heart rate (HRmax) for a typical adult male. Consult the table below to check what workout zone a 147 pulse rate puts you in for your specific age and gender.
