Target Heart Rate? - Bodybuilding Discussion on Bodybuilding.net Fatloss Forum

Adam1116 · 08-29-2007, 12:54 PM

My resting heart rate is 58. I'm 23 years old. What should my target heart rate be for fatloss? Sometimes when I'm doing HIIT I get it as high as 190! Is that not good? Doest it really matter? Just thought you guys could fill me in. This is my first post, so I apologize if I've been a real asshat.

Read this.

Target heart rate for fat burning is relative to the individual. And in terms of HIIT, heart rate really doesn't matter much. It's more about levels of exertion.
