The recommended heart rate zone for fat burning is typically around 60-70% of an individual's maximum heart rate. This zone maximizes the body’s ability to utilize fat as the primary fuel source during exercise. Staying within this range encourages efficient energy expenditure and promotes endurance while reducing the risk of fatigue and injury. Individuals can find this zone by subtracting their age from 220 to determine their maximum heart rate and calculating the appropriate range for effective fat loss and overall fitness.
