Well Doug usually in cardio I do treadmill in morning so I wanted to ask that if i do it without breakfast then I should do a slow jog or just brisk walk on treadmill?????

What heart rate should I maintain to burn my fat without losing muscle?

My age is 24 and I am a Male.

I use Nautilus Treadmill........

I use Nautilus Treadmill........

m8 i was told 2 do this keep ur heart rate between 60-65%

so do this 220-age = y
then y * 0.6 = min heart rate
thney * 0.65 = max heart rate

m8 keep ur heart rate between the 2 figure u get, cuz this is the fat burn zone

hope this helps

A better way of calculating the training heart rate is to take your resting heart rate on three occasions and note the figure..

Then Take your Maximum heart rate (MHR = 220-age = ?)
Then take the Resting heart rate (RHR) from that figure = x
Take 70% of x = xx
xx + RHR = Training heart rate.

Example:
Trainers maximum heart rate = 190 bpm
Resting heart rate 65 bpm

Maximum heart rate 190 - 65 (RHR) = 125
70% of 125 = 87
87+ 65 (RHR) = 152
Training heart rate = 152

this isn't right because it says my max HR is 132 but i like to get it up in the 170's for a good workout

Hey Thats a great way to find out........ gives more perfect picture........

Hey doug pls go to diet and nutrition forum and check out the thread of brad pitt troy workout posted by me.........

I need your opinion for the same.........

If 132 is 70% of you maximum heart rate then that is the heart rate for low intensity cardio, a heart rate higher than that amount then becomes high intensity....

The Karvonen Formula
This is a heart rate reserve formula and it’s one of the most effective methods used to calculate training heart rate. The formula factors in your resting heart rate, therefore, you’ll need to determine your resting heart rate by doing the following:

* Prior to getting out of bed in the morning, take your pulse on your wrist (radial pulse) or on the side of your neck (carotid pulse).

* Count the number of beats, starting with zero, for one minute. If you don’t have a stop watch or a second hand in your bedroom, you can measure the time by watching for the number to change on a digital alarm clock. Find your pulse and start counting when the minute number changes the first time, stop counting when it changes again.

* To help assure accuracy, take your resting heart rate three mornings in a row and average the 3 heart rates together.

Another element in finding your training heart rate zone is determining the intensity level at which you should exercise. As a general rule, you should exercise at an intensity between 50% - 85% of your heart rate reserve. Your individual level of fitness will ultimately determine where you fall within this range. Use the following table as a guide for determining your intensity level:

Beginner or low fitness level . . .50% - 60%
Average fitness level . . . . . . . . 60% - 70%
High fitness level . . . . . . . . . . . 75% - 85%

Now that we’ve determined and gathered the information needed, we can pull the information together in the Karvonen Formula:

220 - Age = Maximum Heart Rate
Max Heart Rate - Rest. Heart Rate x Intensity + Rest. Heart Rate = Training Heart Rate

For example, Sally is 33 yrs old, has a resting heart rate of 75 and she’s just beginning her exercise program (her intensity level will be 50% - 60%.) Sally’s training heart rate zone will be 131-142 beats per minute:

Sally's Minimum Training Heart Rate:
220 - 33 (Age) = 187
187 - 75 (Rest. HR) = 112
112 x .50 (Min. Intensity) + 75 (Rest. HR) = 131 Beats/Minute

Sally's Maximum Training Heart Rate:
220 - 33 (Age) = 187
187 - 75 (Rest. HR) = 112
112 x .60 (Max. Intensity) + 75 (Rest. HR) = 142 Beats/Minute

Isn't that the same as post No 15 above ?

Why, yes, yes it is... DOH! I just had read Mohammed's and forgot to keep reading before posting... apologies guv'nah.
