Your target heart rate is a range of beats per minute that helps you determine if you're exercising at the right intensity. If your pulse is too low, you won't get the maximum benefit from your workout; if it's too high, you won't be able to train as long.
This calculator will give you suggested heart-rate ranges for various workout levels, based on your age and gender. Keep in mind that these are general numbers—different people may have different ranges. As you become very fit, you'll be able to handle higher heart rates for longer periods of time.

Progress and Goals
The best way to measure your fitness progress over time is to record your body statistics and health markers. You may not always see a huge drop in the number on the scale, but your body measurements will decrease as you lose fat and gain lean muscle. You'll also notice improvement in numbers such as your resting heart rate and cholesterol, and you'll be amazed to see how much better you do on your fitness test when you've been working out for a while.
