Discover your ideal fat burning heart rate zone to optimize workouts for weight loss. Our calculator uses the Karvonen formula to help you train smarter, not harder, for effective fat loss and improved cardiovascular fitness. Get personalized targets to achieve your health goals today.
Formula:
The Fat Burning Zone is typically estimated as a percentage of your Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) and Heart Rate Reserve (HRR). We use the Karvonen Formula:
Target Heart Rate (THR) = ((MHR - RHR) × %Intensity) + RHR
Where:
- MHR (Maximum Heart Rate) = 220 - Age
- RHR (Resting Heart Rate) = Your heart rate at rest (beats per minute)
- %Intensity = Percentage of your desired intensity (e.g., 60-70% for fat burning)
