"Unlocking Your Fat-Burning Potential: A Guide to Finding Your Zone"

To maximize fat burning during exercise, it is important to find your fat-burning zone, which is the level of exercise that keeps your heart rate within about 10 percent of the pace that primarily burns fat. This can be determined through lab testing, using a heart-rate monitor and math, or by exercising at a pace that feels easy and sustainable for at least 45 minutes. Generic fat-burning zone charts found in gyms are not accurate for individuals. It is also important to watch what you eat after exercise to avoid replacing the burned fat.
