Use this formula.....
220-your age 28 =192
take 60% of that 115 is your minimum
take 80% of that 154 is your max
a good target for you would be around 150 for at least 20 min since you are only starting to warm up at 115. You can also try intervals by going up to higher hr for short bouts than dropping to your min till hr is down than going up again. If you are new at this start off slow and just get to
about 125-130 untill you get your body use to this.
Good Luck

Hey carivan does the formula differ for men and woman?

No not at all. The only thing that would change is if someone has hypertension.
