The Fat Burning Zone: 55-65% --This range is recommended for
those who haven’t worked out in a long time, are trying to loose
weight, those at a high risk for heart problems or if you’re just not
feeling 100% one day. It is intended for low intensity and/or long

THE AEROBIC ZONE 65%-85%
Track yourself to determine how your overall health and fitness
improves and become aware of your various heart rate levels. As
your cardiovascular system improves, your normal resting heart rate
will decrease. It will take longer to reach your target zone, it will take
less and less time for your heart rate to come back down after
working out.
If you ever notice your resting heart rate to be higher than usual, it
may be a good idea to take a rest from exercise, or at least workout
easier that day, Similarly, if you notice that your heart rate doesn’t
come back down as quickly as usual at the end of your workout, it
could be an indication that your workout was more (or too)
strenuous, or that you haven’t recovered well enough from a
previous extraneous workout or injury. These signals in your heart
rate could also be an indication of an illness coming on, stress, or a
good reason for a check up with your doctor.
