what is the correct fat burning zone

60-70% Max Heart rate.

So what you do is calculate your Heart rate, (the common method being age adjusted), which is 220-age.

Then you multiply that by 60-70%, so if you were 30, you would have a figure of 190 and two seperate figures of 114 - 133.

So that's how much variation you would be looking for with your Heart rate.

As you are 48, you would use a starting figure of 172, then your range would be between 103.2 - 120.4 approx, or roughly 105 - 120 BPM.

no such thing really...increased metabolism is where you lose most of your fat..that requires intense training meaning heavy wts, lowish reps, sprints etc (anaerobic type training)
