The Heart Rate table is an estimate of what Heart Rate Zone (HRZ) is effective to burn fat and improve your cardiovascular system. Physical
conditions vary, therefore your individual HRZ could be several beats higher or lower than what is shown.
The most efficient procedure to burn fat during exercise is to start at a slow pace and gradually increase your intensity until your heart rate reaches
between 60 – 85% of your maximum heart rate. Continue at that pace, keeping your heart rate in that target zone for over 20 minutes. The longer
you maintain your target heart rate, the more fat your body will burn.
Maximum Heart Rate
Target Heart Rate Zone
(keep within this range
for optimum fat-burning)
The graph is a brief guideline, describing the generally suggested target heart rates based on age. As noted above, your optimal target rate may be
higher or lower. Consult your physician for your individual target heart rate zone.
Note: As with all exercises and fitness regimens, always use your best judgment when you increase your exercise time or intensity.
