heart rate/fat burning zone
Hey,
According to my age, my 65% (so called fat buring zone) is in the 122 bpm range. Now I am 20lbs overweight, but go to the gym most days. When I get there after work my heart rate is already almost at 120 just from the day. As far as my breathing goes, at 122 bpm I could negotiate a peace agreement without pausing. On the weekend it is slightly lower, but it still takes nothing to get me up to that level and I am hardly moving and not even coming close to breaking a sweat. What should I be aiming for? Should I just say forget it when it comes to the fat burning zone and just do the highest level I can sustain for an hour? Any thoughts? Really I just want the most effective way to lose these last 20lbs and I want to use my cardio time in the most efficient way possible.
Thanks,
Pools
