heart rate when excersizing

I go to Curves and the highest I can get my heart rate up to is 18-20 (10 seconds) x6 or 108 to 120. I am 71 years old and have moderate emphysema. Doea anyone know if this is average or adequate for me? My body would like to do more, but my lungs "scream" at that point!
