The fat burning heart rate, also known as the target heart rate zone for fat loss, is the range of heartbeats per minute at which your body is most efficient at burning fat. To calculate your fat burning heart rate, you will need to determine your maximum heart rate and then calculate your target heart rate zone.
To determine your maximum heart rate, you can use the following formula:
Maximum heart rate = 220 - age
For example, if you are 30 years old, your maximum heart rate would be 220 - 30 = 190 beats per minute.
To calculate your target heart rate zone for fat loss, you can use the following formula:
Target heart rate zone for fat loss = 50-70% of maximum heart rate
Continuing with the example above, if your maximum heart rate is 190 beats per minute, your target heart rate zone for fat loss would be 95-133 beats per minute (50-70% of 190).
It's important to note that these formulas are estimates and your individual fat burning heart rate may vary. It's also important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new exercise program.
