Fat Burning Heart Rate Zone for Nurturer

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 10/07/2008 - 22:57.

Hello,

Question: I read the Body Code book and I am confused on what heart rate I should be training in. Under the Nurturer section of the book it says my heart rate should be 70-85% and earlier in the book it says the Nurturer and Visionary types should exercise in the 60-75% range.

Which is it for the nurturer? I am thinking it is 60-75% because we are flabbier then other types but still uncertain.

Thanks,

Nurturer Heart Rate

One important thing to remember is that the lower heart rate (60-75%) is your ideal "fat calorie" burning zone and the higher heart rate (75-80%) is ideal for cardio training.

If your goal is fat loss, then use the lower heart rate zone. If your goal is cardio training (training for marathons and such) then use the higher zone.

In good health,

Wes
