What is the ideal heart rate for burning colories or does it depend on weight/hight etc?

It depends on your resting heart rate and your age. You measure your resting heart rate (right after you wake in the morning) and you base the optimum rate for burning calories as a percentage of the resting rate.

The following example shows the low end of a target heart rate for a 35 year old person with a resting heart rate of 60 bpm:

220 - 35 = 185

185 - 60 = 125

125 x 50%= 62.5

62.5 + 60 = 123 beats per minute

The following example shows the high end of a target heart rate for a 35 year old person with a resting heart rate of 60 bpm:

220 - 35 = 185

185 - 60 = 125

125 x 85%= 106.25

106.25 + 60 = 166 beats per minute

80% of your maximum heart rate is the optimal heart rate to burn fat (which is what you want to burn). A rough estimate of your maximum heart rate is 220 - your age. So if you%26#039;re 20 years old your maximum heart rate would 220 - 20 = 200. There are several other factors, but without a detailed physical examination, these are decent guidlines to follow.

Faster than YOUR resting heart rate. It differs from person to person. Your weight will possibly contribute to your resting heart rate as if you are obese, your heart has to work harder to pump blood around your body. In order to burn calories you have to increase your metabolism which can easily be done by gently raising your heart rate. As long as it is maintained above resting for 20 mins, then you should burn more calories.
