Around 140 would be better for fat loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ye I read somewhere that 65% of your max heart rate is about where you want to be which would equate to about 140 for me. I just feel I'm being lazy around that area lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
