In the forum - Ideal Heart Rate for Fat Loss

Monday August 1, 2005
One forum member brings up an issue I hear about often: "The trainer at the gym said to burn fat during cardio - I should keep my heart rate between 96-135...I don't get it. Is it too good to be true, instead of working out at my typical 150 HR, I can workout at a measly 135 HR and burn more fat?"

This topic is always a bit controversial as you'll see when you come join the discussion to see what the fuss is all about.
