The Zone Needed for Fat Burning

The fat burning zone is key to the losing excess fat through aerobic exercise. The body loses fat at a specific level of activity that can be maintained over a determined period of time. This is the zone for optimal fat loss potential and there is a mathematical equation to figure out when this zone is achieved. Here is the formula for determining the zone: 220 minus age in years, then multiply by .75 to equal the zone. Here is an example: Take a person who is forty years old. The mathematics would look like this: (220 - 40) x .75 = 135. This equation gives a person the approximate beats per minute by the heart during the exercise for their age and therefore gives the base of an individual's zone necessary be in.  

Specific Timing for Aerobic Activity

Along with the timing necessary for burning fat, the body does require hydration in order to function properly and this is includes the matter of efficient fat burning, so be sure to drink adequate water.
