Frequently Asked Questions

How are heart rate training zones calculated?

Using the Karvonen formula: Target HR = Resting HR + (Percentage × Heart Rate Reserve). HRR = Max HR (220 - age) minus Resting HR. This gives more personalized zones than simple percentage of max HR.

Which heart rate zone burns the most fat?

Zone 2 (60-70% of HRR) maximizes fat oxidation as a percentage of fuel. However, higher zones burn more total calories per minute, so overall caloric deficit matters more for weight loss.
