The Heart Rate table is an estimate of what Heart Rate Zone (HRZ) is effective to burn fat and improve your cardiovas-
cular 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 un-
til your heart rate reaches between 50 – 70% 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.
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.
