Frequently Asked Questions about the Heart Rate Calculator

What is the fat burning heart rate zone?

The fat burn zone is typically 60–70% of your maximum heart rate. At this intensity, a higher percentage of calories burned comes from fat.

How do I measure my resting heart rate?

Measure first thing in the morning before getting out of bed. Count beats for 60 seconds, or 30 seconds and multiply by 2. Normal range is 60–100 bpm.
