Heart Health : How to Find Your Heart Rate for Fat Burning

Find the heart rate that is most beneficial for fat burning by subtracting your age from the number 220 and multiplying that number by 0.6 or 0.7. Burn the most fat during exercise by reaching around 65 percent of your maximal heart rate with advice from a board-certified cardiologist in this free video on exercise and fat burning.

out of all of these videos out there with 10mins and above this is prolly the best one

Question answered, that was quick and easy.Thanks Doc!

I'm 64. According to this, my target fat-burning heart rate is 109 bpm. Now, I do :30 minutes of cardio on the elliptical daily at I'd say the average bpm during that duration is about 128-130 bpm, as high as 140 for several minutes. At no point am I winded and can carry on a conversation without losing my breath, only slight heavy breathing. If I were to do 109 bpm I'd feel like I was standing still. What does this mean?

[adamnorris]

you may not think this is a good way to burn fat but it is! you will improve your resting heart rate and also burn fat which has an after burn effect after the workout.

Thanks I've been looking for someone to explain this.

[valpormento]

quick question doc, for how lock do we have to maintain the 65 per. through a workout?

Where is karvonen formula to measure target heart rate. I think it's the most reliable formula as compare to simple one. What is your opinion?

[rdGemini]

can someone please explain why going above 70% of max HR is less beneficial? wouldn't the heart work harder and pump more blood/oxygen to muscles, allowing them to require more energy, thereby burning more fat to supply said energy? any information would be appreciated

Ok. Got it. For me it’s 220-55.5=164.5. Then 164.5 X 0.65=106.925.
So how much room do I have above and below 106.925?
I’m currently on a treadmill at Planet Fitness. Walking 44 minutes at a 3.0 pace, 3.5 elevation and my heart rate is 117. I’m sweating pretty good but not breathing hard at all. Recommendations?

When I do this, I'm the slowest treadmiller at the gym and I feel like a real "slacker"...I barely even sweat. Are you SURE about this?

[mnhusin]

I watch many videos about this and i always got same question, how will i know that i am at 60%-70% of heart rate?
Using gadget, and sendor you dump.
That very inconvenient

[deathsavearcade]

Can someone explain why 30 minutes of cardio at a higher rate would burn less fat than 30 min of the same cardio at that lower heart rate number...

[willywonka]

That makes no sense so mine is 125 BPM that doesn't tell me anything how long do I stay in this zone 5 minutes 1 minute 30 seconds 10 minutes I mean come on

[DrOAK]

Am I gonna die? Cause my average heart rate in a 45mins cycling session is about 150. I'm 24btw

It is advisable to regularly monitoring your weight, setting realistic goals getting helps from family and friends for weight reduction correctly.

I think you forgot one thing
I read in Mayo Clinic
220 - your age.

And then you measure your BPM

So you subtract 220 - your age - your resting BPM.

Then you multiply by 0.6

Then you add your resting BPM.

For example.

I am 30 yo.

220 - 30 = 190

My resting BPM is 84 right now

190 - 84 = 106

106 Multiply by 0.6 = 63.6
106 Multiply by 0.7= 74.2

Now you add your resting BPM
63.6 + 84 = 147.6
74.2 + 84 = 158.2

So my range to keep it is between 147.6-158.2

But this is considerate moderate .

[avantiiresha]

I feel once you start sweating (even a bit) it means fat is burning .

[faosparkNeo]

For smokers add packed years / 2 to your age

[mrfunball]

How long will it take to burn off a whopper?🍔

[sfrealestatedealmaker]

No way this is accurate. Mine comes up to 65 beats per minute 😂😂
