Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
The target heart rate during exercise for a person aged 60 is between 80 to 136 according to the american heart association. This may vary slightly from one person to the next.
In terms of the decrease in heart rate from 150 to 110, this would also vary individually but generally it is normal if the rate drops by at least 12 beats a minute.
This means it would take 3 to 4 minutes normally.
I hope this helps
