I have read many diffrent ways on how to find your fat buring heart rate. I was wondering if somong would tell the correct way.
do a search for "target heart rate calculator"
check your pulse
MHR = 220 - age
then take 70% of that number
i.e. 20year old MHR is 200
140Beats Per Min is 70%
Sorry to sound dumb but is there a range, or is it 140 beats no more or less. If there is a range is it like 5 or just a bit more BPM, and is the the same for just a bit under the 140? I guess I'm just asking if it is 140 is 70% how high and how high and low could the BPR can go up from the 70%(140)BPM and still be in the fat zone?Quote:

I've read many times you should be between 60 and 70% to most effectively burn fat.
Theres two Im sure.
One for Fat burning with muscle loss as well, something like 220 - your current age and the one for Fat burning with no muscle loss whihc is 220 - your age x .7.
If noticed the later being most effective for me, I have definatley cut up with no loos in muscle mass.
220- age X .65 - .75
im pretty sure that's the range
I like the range of 60%-75%max.

The question was best zone for fat loss NOT fat loss AND muscle loss.Quote:
