DearOly – The Jolly Walker

If I’m suppose to be at 121 heart rate for fat burn, and 150 for cardio, what does it mean when I’m at 135?

My goal right now is to burn fat. The research I’ve been doing tells me to keep my heart rate at an average of 121 when I’m on the treadmill, eliptical, bike…things of that nature. I do not yet have the conditioning to keep my heart rate at the cardio level of 150 for a good lengh of time, but 121 seems slow, and not a hard workout. If I step it up a bit, to give me the “feeling” of a harder work out, my HR is more around 135. If I burn fat at 121, and doing cardio at 150, what’s going on with my body when I’m stuck in the middle of the two? Is the pace of 121, even though it feels like I’m not doing as much as I could, still the best for burning fat, as opposed to muscle? I also do some work with weights, and I’m gaining strength, so I don’t want to burn that muscle by pushing too hard on the treadmill. Help! Do I have it all mixed up? Again, my main goal is to burn fat.

hmm… what does it mean? the answer lies in your question, my dear.

if you’re supposed to be at 121 and you’re at 135, it means that you’re 14 bpm higher than your rate for “fat burn”

but it doesn’t end there. no. you’re also 15 bpm less than that “for cardio”
