[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you! I have been eating beforehand so will try fasted workouts and cut back on the carbs. But if I wanted to add cardio in (I already lift weights) what is the best HR zone to be in?[/quote] Well monitoring heart rate zones and such is more about cardiovascular health improvements, (trying to lower your resting heart rate, increasing the blood volume per pump, etc.) than it is about simply losing bodyfat. But if you want to keep up with it for the fun of it, I'd suggest slightly above the lowest exercising rate, something that would be considered strenuous but nowhere near advanced. Track your heart rate during your weight workouts and add 10% to that as a starting goal. If you do faster paced weight workouts with slightly decreased weights and less rest time, you will get good cardio workouts at the same time. [/quote]
