How high should my heart rate be to maximise weight loss?
A.Your maximal heart rate is 220 minus your age in years. If your goal is to reduce body fat and you have been relatively inactive, you will need to train at a level of 60 to 70 percent of your maximum heart rate. This is still within your comfort zone and allows you to exercise at a steady pace for a long enough time to burn off a substantial number of calories.). Sustain this heart rate for between 20 and 45 minutes at least 3 times a week to begin to burn fat.
