The key to finding your fat-burning zone is often to exercise far more gently than many of us might expect.
If you want to burn as much body fat as possible while you exercise, ignore the charts at your gym showing generic “fat-burning zones.” Instead, try these do-it-yourself hacks to learn how to help your body incinerate more fat when you work out.“Our bodies are quite good at maximizing fat oxidation” during exercise, if we let them, said Isaac A.
Encouragingly, the key to burning fat during exercise is to exercise far more gently than many of us might expect.“There are good reasons” to want to find your fat-burning zone, Chávez-Guevara said, and they have little to do with weight loss and appearance. Fat tissue, even in people of normal weight, can have undesirable metabolic consequences.
Whether you burn primarily fat or carbohydrates during exercise depends mostly on your workout’s intensity. In broad terms, the harder you exert yourself, the more your body relies on carbs. What may surprise some people is that the lighter the workout, the more your body uses fat to fuel it, making easy exercise the key to your fat-burning zone.Your goal is to find the pace of exercise at which most of the calories you’re burning come from fat. Exercise scientists define a person’s “fat-burning zone” as the level of exercise that keeps your heart rate within about 10 percent of that pace. To find your own fat-burning zone, consider one of these three approaches.
Next, calculate 60 percent of that number and aim to work out near that heart rate, Chávez-Guevara said. In ahe and his colleagues published in Sports Medicine, they collated data from 64 past studies involving almost 7,500 men and women with obesity who’d completed exercise testing and found those who exercised at between 57 and 66 percent of their maximum heart rates burned the highest percentage of fat.
