According to statistics, the maximum heart rate should be 220 minus a person's age. How would you interpret your highest heart rate in relation to that given number?

I would interpret that explanation to mean that in order to calculate my maximum
heart rate, I should write down 220, then I should write my age under it, and finally
I should do the subtraction.

Once I had the answer, I should either memorize it or carry it around on a little slip of
paper. Whenever I exercise or get excited, I should count my pulse, and take out
the little paper and compare the numbers. If my pulse is running slower than the
number I calculated, then I am OK. But if my pulse rate is a higher number than
what I calculated, then I should calm down and take it easy.

I should also remember to take ' 1 ' away from the number whenever I have a
birthday.

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum rate of someone would depend upon what the person did before taking his/her BP or rate taken. In some cases, the most rate of someone might depend upon his/her physical and/or emotion.
