Schwinn 250 schwinn manual FAT-BURNING Target Heart Rate, Age

The most efficient procedure to burn fat during exercise is to start at a slow pace and gradually in- crease your intensity until your heart rate reaches between 60 – 85% of your maximum heart rate. Continue at that pace, keeping your heart rate in that target zone for over 20 minutes. The longer you maintain your target heart rate, the more fat your body will burn.

The graph is a brief guideline, describing the generally suggested target heart rates based on age. As noted above, your optimal target rate may be higher or lower. Consult your physician for your individual target heart rate zone.

Note: As with all exercises and fitness regimens, always use your best judgment when you increase your exercise time or intensity.
